As a company with over 30 years of experience in the mining industry, Xinhai deeply understands the mixed emotions every mining investor faces — the excitement and anticipation upon discovering a new deposit, followed by the hesitation and doubt once the initial thrill fades.

Should you invest heavily, or withdraw to avoid losses? Such decisions cannot be made based on instinct or experience alone. What you truly need is a comprehensive, in-depth, and authoritative Mining Feasibility Study Report.

I. A Feasibility Study: The “Panoramic CT Scan” of Your Mining Project

Many believe that once ore reserves are confirmed, half the project is already a success. This is a misconception. Knowing only the resource quantity is far from enough.

Whether a deposit is worth developing depends on technical feasibility, economic rationality, and operational safety.

A Xinhai Feasibility Study Report is equivalent to a full-spectrum CT scan of your mine. It provides a professional assessment across six core dimensions to help you understand the project’s real potential and avoid hidden risks.

1. Resource and Reserve Evaluation

Beyond answering the simple question of “how many tonnes,” our reserve evaluation uses rigorous geological modeling to define ore grade distribution, orebody geometry, and spatial continuity.

We also calculate economically recoverable reserves — the portion of the deposit that can actually generate profit — rather than merely reporting geological resources.

2. Ore Processing and Utilization Characteristics

Can the ore be processed and separated economically and effectively?

Through detailed mineralogical studies and beneficiation tests, we determine the appropriate processing flowsheet, predict metallurgical recovery rates, concentrate grades, and production costs.

This step directly determines whether your final product can remain competitive in the market.

3. Mining Technical Conditions

How can the orebody be mined safely and efficiently?

We comprehensively analyze engineering geology, hydrogeology, and environmental geology, to propose the optimal mining method (open-pit or underground), development and transportation plan, and mining sequence.

Potential geological hazards such as slope failure or groundwater inflow are also assessed, with preventive and mitigation measures clearly outlined.

4. Mine Construction and Infrastructure Conditions

Is the project site equipped with adequate transportation, power supply, water resources, and labor?

Through on-site investigations, we evaluate the external construction environment and propose cost-effective supporting infrastructure solutions — preventing delays caused by “last-mile” bottlenecks.

5. Market Outlook and Economic Analysis

This is the project’s value judgment stage.

We conduct an in-depth analysis of target mineral product prices, supply–demand dynamics, and future market trends.

Multiple technical and economic comparison schemes are evaluated — from production scale and equipment selection to product plan optimization — allowing us to recommend the most profitable overall solution based on quantitative modeling.

6. Capital Cost Estimation and Financial Evaluation

How much investment does the project require? Will it be profitable?

We provide a detailed capital and operating cost estimate, along with a complete financial evaluation, including cash flow analysis, rate of return, net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and payback period.

This financial model provides solid support for presentations to boards, banks, or potential investors.

II. Beyond the Report — Xinhai as Your Strategic Advisor

At Xinhai, we know you need more than a well-bound document. You need a decision-supporting, risk-avoiding, and value-creating analysis.

Our advantages lie in professional insight, systematic methodology, and practical experience.

1. Systematic Thinking

Xinhai’s mining design philosophy is holistic — no part of the process is viewed in isolation.

Ore grade affects processing cost, mining method impacts capital investment, and market volatility determines profit margins.

Each factor triggers a chain reaction.

By applying systematic, interconnected thinking, we ensure that project feasibility is evaluated realistically and comprehensively.

2. Multi-Scheme Comparison

There is never a single “best” path — only the optimal solution under specific constraints.

We provide multiple feasible technical schemes and conduct comprehensive comparisons across economic, technical, safety, and environmental dimensions.

Your final decision will therefore be based on complete data and balanced evaluation.

3. Risk Insight

Within the report, we identify potential technical, market, safety, and policy risks that may occur during each project stage, and propose targeted mitigation strategies.

This enables you to make informed decisions and manage uncertainties right from project initiation.

III. Feasibility Study Report — Your “Insurance Policy” for Investment

In the mining industry — characterized by high capital input, high risk, and long investment cycles — a high-quality feasibility study report represents both the first and most crucial step toward project success.

It acts as a rational and scientific “brake” or “accelerator” before major investment decisions are made.

It serves as your internal decision-making compass and as a “passport” for external investors and government approvals.

Xinhai has a deep-rooted presence in mining engineering services, backed by a professional technical team and extensive project experience.

In 2025, we provided EPC services for several large-scale mining projects, including the 500,000 t/a wollastonite project in Jiangxi and the 4,000 t/d molybdenum project in Hebei.

At the same time, we prepared Feasibility Study Reports for multiple overseas mining projects, such as a gold mine in Zimbabwe, an alluvial gold project in Papua New Guinea, a niobium project in Malawi, and a silver-lead-zinc polymetallic project in Tajikistan.

We invite you to contact us for an in-depth consultation with our senior technical advisors.

Let’s work together — starting from a rigorous and professional feasibility study report — to safeguard and maximize the value of your mining investment.
