Feasibility Study
A meticulously conducted Feasibility Study (FS) is essential for confirming the technical, economic, and operational feasibility of a mining project, marking the final step before advancing to construction.
Building on the groundwork from the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), the FS provides a rigorous, in-depth evaluation of every aspect of the project—technical design, economic forecasting, environmental compliance, and social impact. At K-MINE, our FS reports meet the highest industry standards, including NI 43-101, JORC, and SK 1300, ensuring stakeholders receive the credible, data-backed analysis needed to make secure investment decisions.
