Mine Capital Cost Estimator

Mine Capital Cost Estimator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculates pre-production and sustaining CAPEX for mining projects.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for mining project financial planning. It allows users to calculate pre-production CAPEX using factorial, parametric, or detailed methods, and estimate sustaining CAPEX over a mine's lifecycle. Users can retrieve regional cost adjustments via get_location_multiplier and perform complex financial adjustments using apply_currency_and_inflation to account for inflation and currency fluctuations.

Estimate the pre-production CAPEX for an open pit mine with a capacity of 5,000,000 tonnes per year and a location factor of 1.2 using the parametric method.

The estimated pre-production CAPEX for the open pit mine is $450,000,000, including a $45,000,000 contingency allowance.

What is the annual sustaining CAPEX for an underground mine with 2,000,000 tonnes annual capacity and a 15-year mine life with a 0.05 equipment replacement rate?

The annual sustaining CAPEX is $12,500,000, with a total lifetime sustaining CAPEX of $187,500,000.
