Feasibility Studies Compliant with International Standards
Delivering Feasibility Studies Aligned with International Standards, Featuring Precise Calculations of Capital Costs, Revenue Distributions, and Project Profitability Margins
Analyzing geological, engineering, and financial parameters to mitigate investment risk, forecast payback timelines, and substantiate deposit development strategies.
Key Challenges Addressed by Feasibility Studies
01
CAPEX and OPEX Uncertainty
Precise calculation of capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX) — from plant construction through to active operations — avoiding budget overruns and financial losses.
02
Complexities in Selecting Optimal Mine Development Strategies
Selection of technical flowsheets, processing technologies, and organizational structures, guaranteeing efficiency across all project phases.
03
Uncertainty Surrounding Revenue Metrics and Profitability
Dynamic financial modeling — forecasting revenue, payback timelines, NPV, and IRR — enabling fully substantiated investment decision-making.
04
Exposure to Market Volatility and Economic Risks
Sensitivity analysis against commodity price shifts and operational cost fluctuations, mitigating financial exposure and reinforcing project economic resilience.
How is the Feasibility Study Process Conducted?
We compile Feasibility Studies (FS / PFS / PEA) in full compliance with international standards, empowering subsoil users to make data-driven mine development decisions.
The process moves through four structured stages:
- Geological Framework & Baseline Infrastructure Audit — synthesis of exploration datasets, mineral reserve statements, deposit spatial parameters, and logistical constraints to establish an accurate engineering foundation;
- CAPEX & OPEX Calculation — precise estimation of capital expenditures (site infrastructure, fleet procurement, processing facilities) and operating costs (labor, power, consumables, logistics). Models incorporate inflation indices, risk contingency margins, and current commodity pricing;
- Financial Modeling & Profitability Evaluation — forecasting cash flows, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and capital recovery timelines. Includes rigorous sensitivity testing against commodity market volatility and operational cost escalation;
- Audit-Ready Feasibility Documentation — compilation of comprehensive technical reporting complete with strategic mine design recommendations, expenditure optimization roadmaps, and risk mitigation protocols;
The Result — The client receives an audit-ready Feasibility Study that facilitates sound management decisions, streamlines equity/debt capital sourcing, and enables confident project commissioning.

The Strategic Necessity of International Standard Feasibility Studies
A Feasibility Study (FS / PFS / PEA) is the cornerstone technical-economic document that governs all subsequent mining operations. It establishes optimal extraction and mineral processing flowsheets, proves economic viability, defines capital (CAPEX) and operating expenditures (OPEX), and evaluates project profitability and resilience against changing market conditions.
In global mining practice, compiling a Feasibility Study under international standards (CRIRSCO / JORC / NI 43-101 / VALMIN) is a mandatory prerequisite for securing institutional investment, executing initial public offerings (IPOs), and obtaining project finance debt from commercial and development banks.
GeoJet Group prepares technical-economic documentation that meets the strict requirements of international financial and regulatory institutions — guaranteeing global document recognition and building institutional investor confidence.
Key Objectives Addressed by Feasibility Studies
Comprehensive analysis eliminates cost estimation uncertainties, determines the optimal extraction strategy, and mitigates exposure to market risks.
We deliver high-precision calculations for capital expenditures (CAPEX) and operating expenses (OPEX) — covering site infrastructure construction through to active mining and mineral processing operations. This structured approach prevents budget overruns and establishes strict financial discipline throughout the project lifecycle.
Particular emphasis is placed on mining technology selection. Integrating geological data and geotechnical parameters, we evaluate and select extraction flowsheets that maximize operational efficiency and safety. This allows for accurate recovery rate projections, environmental impact accounting, and realistic production throughput forecasting.
The financial section of the Feasibility Study incorporates dynamic revenue modeling, capital recovery timelines (payback period), net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and rigorous sensitivity testing. As a result, the client receives a transparent financial model reflecting realistic operational and market scenarios.
Core Advantages of GeoJet Group's Approach
GeoJet Group combines international reporting expertise with deep geological insights.
We utilize advanced software suites for spatial modeling, apply financial analytics, and integrate geological, technical, and economic datasets into a unified framework.
Our Feasibility Studies are defined by high precision and operational realism. We evaluate not only current metrics but also dynamic external scenarios, modeling asset performance over 10–20 year life-of-mine (LOM) horizons. This enables clients to proactively identify risks and execute data-driven strategic decisions.
Key Advantages of Our Approach:
- Full compliance with international reporting codes (JORC / NI 43-101 / SAMREC / KAZRC);
- Mitigation of financial, technical, and operational risk profiles;
- Unbiased evaluation of capital expenditure (CAPEX) requirements and revenue projections;
- Elevated investor confidence and expanded access to international capital markets.
Client Deliverables and Business Value
Upon completion, the client receives an audit-ready Feasibility Study complete with comprehensive OPEX/CAPEX calculations, revenue projections, profitability metrics, and actionable engineering optimization strategies. The final document serves as a verified asset package for state regulatory defense, equity investor negotiations, bank debt project financing, and international procurement tenders.
GeoJet Group guarantees that every Feasibility Study accurately reflects true project economic viability while adhering to international best practices.
Conclusion
A Feasibility Study is far more than a financial calculation — it is a foundational strategic instrument for mineral asset management.
Through integrated multidisciplinary analysis and strict adherence to international reporting codes, GeoJet Group compiles technical-economic documentation that elevates operational transparency, mitigates investment risk, and ensures a confident, risk-managed trajectory for subsoil projects of any scale.
