Art Winckers of Teck Corporation, Vancouver, British Columbia. We are especially appreciative of the technical assistance provided by the chairman of CAMIRO-MPD, Mr. Rick Zimmer, Chairman of the Metal Mining Division, who maintained corresponding interest in support from Metal Mining. Mike Mular, Chairman of CMP, who spearheaded support by the Canadian Mineral Processors, and Mr. Ray MacDonald of CANMET, Secretary of CMP, who encouraged support by CANMET, Mr. Bryn Harris, who initiated interest and financial support for CAPCOSTS through MITEC, Mr. CAMIRO disbursed funds collected from these organizations and from the following individual sponsors: Cambior Inc., Centre de Recherche Minerales (CRM) and Cominco Ltd. This handbook was sponsored by CAMIRO (the Canadian Mining Industry Research Organisation formerly known as MITEC), the Canadian Mineral Processors Division of CIM, the Metal Mining Division of CIM and CANMET. Kenneth Strobbe, Technical Assistant They deserve our thanks on behalf of sponsoring organizations. Paul Bialikiewicz, Technical Assistant Mr. The compilation, analysis and drafting of all data was performed by the following individuals under general supervision: Mr. We wish to express our appreciation to the major equipment firms, suppliers, engineering consulting firms and others who have contributed to this handbook by either supplying er verifying cost information.
Users of this manual will find that the computer program reduces estimation time significantly. A CAPCOST computer program can be purchased as a separate item. Mineral project evaluation techniques are reviewed and corresponding applications are presented in a realistic manner, while distinct features of ore deposit evaluation methodology are reexamined. O'Hara's technique to estimate total product costs is likewise employed in updated format. Capital expenditures are estimated by means of either ratio methods or updated costkapacity methods developed by O'Hara and others. A section contains various rules of thumb which may be useful for rough estimates when other data are not available. Sample calculations are shown at the beginning of each section relevant to major equipment costing and, where appropriate, an explanation of data presentation is provided. It must be emphasized that the costs herein are not exact costs they cannot be considered as quotes from any single manufacturerlsupplier. All data in CAPCOSTS have been analyzed by statistical methods unless stated otherwise. It incorporates additional equipment and sections dealing with mineral economics and project evaluation techniques.
This newest update is effectively a handbook for (1) estimating costs of mininglmineral processing equipment, for (2) estimating capital expenditures and for (3) aiding mineral project evaluations. CIM Volume 25 is itself a revision of CIM Special Volumes 13 (1972) and 18 (1978) and is based on a course developed in 1978 by Professor Mular, with the title Mining and Mineral Processing Equipment Costs and Preliminary Capital Cost Estimations. Montreal, Quebec, H3Z 3B8įrom 1995 to 1997, major mining and mineral processing equipment prices were gathered under the general auspices of the CAMIRO-MPD (Metallurgical Processing Division of the Canadian Mining lndustry Research Organization formerly known as MITEC, the Mining lndustry Technology Council of Canada), the Canadian Mineral Processors Division of CIM, the Metal Mining Division of CIM and CANMET to revise and update CIM Special Volume 25 published in 1982.
