Objective and Ends of Mining Feasibility Study

The study of feasibility can be identified as the stage of the process of pre investment after having analyzed all the preliminaries and different alternatives that served as discarding stages leaving finally what is recommended.

General Aspects
Do a description of the actual conditions of the mining property, incising on the points that can make the conception of the project vary be it due to internal or external factors.

Background
This describes in a clear and succinct the antecedents referred to the circumstances that gave origin to the feasibility study of the project.

Location
Indicates the geographical location of the project as well as the latitude and longitude as far as the geographical reference points and altitude above sea level.

Accessibility
Describes the ways of access that allow the connection between the location of the project and the main areas, as well as type of transportation that can be used to get to these locations.

Climate and Vegetation
Describes the climatic conditions, indicating the variations that occur in the four seasons of the year, as well as the temperature, pluvial precipitations, wind, relative humidity, dust, fog, frequency and their effects on the project. Also describes the characteristics of vegetation in the project area as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these.

Physiography and Topography
Describes the type of land and the phenomenon that are produced on it, relief and natural accidents of the area where it is located and those that surround the project.

Resources
Make a description on the type of natural resources indicating sources, quality, quantity and availability (water that comes from streams, lakes, wells, both for domestic as well as industrial), we should also mention the drought conditions and possible location of reservoirs.

Possibility of not counting on the qualified manual labor in the area where the project is located; and this will allow you to define the staff of personal that will be necessary or not necessary to train for the activities they will be doing in the execution of the project.

Availability, location of the central line in relation to the mine and treatment plant and location of the sub stations and potential and availability.

Infrastructure
This aspect is analyzed in detail, therefore the consistent physical infrastructure in homes, offices, workshops, deposits and others are considered priority especially when an enhancement of a project is taking place.

Political and Economical Considerations
Political climate, industry, scale of salary, syndicates etc. 

Mining Property
To make a clear and concise description of the mining property, material of the project, indicating the sequence of the operations that get done – if in one of the results have been obtained.
