Syllabus: The primary objective of this unit is to provide a framework to assist in preliminary financial modelling and evaluation of mineral projects, focussing primarily on their cost function. The unit represents a first exposure to the field of cost engineering and is designed to generate a degree of general awareness of the related methodologies rather than any level of specialised technical expertise in the area.
