The scoping study includes but is not limited to:
Review of existing data
Review current resource basis and definitions
Examine ore reserve assessment requirements, including the definition of any differing ore types
Conduct site visits to view ground conditions and gather relevant cost and development data
Development of preliminary design criteria and mine planning
Budget estimate for mining capital and operating costs
Determine any requirements for process test work sampling and a preliminary test program. Outline possible flow sheet investigation
Budget estimate for transport operating to port
Port and shipping suitability
Budget estimate of port/shipping charges
Review land access
Environmental criteria and recommend review requirements including local and regional social and political impacts
Infrastructure options including the availability of services and resources, particularly power and water supply and alternatives for site access for product handling
Suggested site investigations and other engineering programs to prepare for feasibility level investigations
Develop economic criteria and a preliminary financial analysis spreadsheet
