How long does a Class 5 estimate take?▼
A Class 5 order-of-magnitude estimate typically takes 3–7 business days depending on project complexity and data availability. We use our proprietary 5,000+ equipment database and CostMine benchmarks to deliver rapid, reliable screening estimates.
What information do you need to start a feasibility study?▼
For a Class 4–5 estimate, we need basic project parameters: commodity type, location, estimated throughput, ore grade, and mining method. For Class 1–3 bankable studies, we require geological resource reports, metallurgical testwork, geotechnical data, and environmental baseline studies.
Do you work with junior mining companies and explorers?▼
Absolutely. We work with the full spectrum — from junior explorers needing a quick Class 5 screening estimate to attract investors, through to major producers requiring Class 1 definitive estimates for construction decisions.
Are your estimates NI 43-101 and JORC compliant?▼
Yes. Our Class 3 and above feasibility studies are prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and JORC standards, making them suitable for stock exchange filings and institutional investor presentations.
What is your fee structure?▼
Fees are project-specific and depend on estimate class, project complexity, commodity, and location. Class 5 screening estimates start from $5,000 USD. Contact us for a tailored proposal.
Do you offer services in Persian / Farsi?▼
Yes. KDMine Group is fully bilingual in English and Persian (Farsi). All reports, deliverables, and client communications can be provided in either language. Our Tehran headquarters team is fully Persian-speaking.
