Cut Off Grade (COG) Analysis

Our team can calculate or peer review COG to assure that sustaining capital is included in the design stage. The Pit/Stope needs to justify the capital as it could be used elsewhere in other projects. The equipment’s sustaining capital, pad/Tails expansions, etc. should be included as sustaining capital in Cut off calculations since mining of tonnes consume equipment life. Our team can help to have a good understanding of how sensitive their pits are to sustaining capital as part of the long range planning process.
