If you are looking at starting any sort of mining operation, Gold / other metals / gravel / rock / gems, this template will give you a good foundation for planning out startup costs, operating costs, and an in-depth yield schedule for potential revenue based on ore production.
This is an annual-only model for larger scale mining. The following outputs will be displayed based on all revenue and expense assumptions:
Return Summary (ROI, IRR per years operated, cash returned, cash required)
Annual Pro Forma (driving down to operating income and cash flow as well as displaying break-even year)
5 Visualizations to better digest the financial requirements and forecast in general
