Dave Lawie - Valuating Ore Body Knowledge – The Financial Keystone for Mining Success

“who pays to prevent something bad from happening?”... “What is the value of that?” - Upstream by Dan Heath In the realm of mining, resource development and mineral exploration, Ore Body Knowledge stands as the critical financial keystone, shaping the economic viability and sustainability of mining ventures. This knowledge, when obtained early in the exploration phase and/or tactically during mining operations, can drastically reduce uncertainties associated with resource development and improve operational planning and financial forecasting. It is akin to mining's Rosetta Stone, deciphering the intricate economic narratives embedded within the geological data. The quantification of OBK's financial value has historically been a complex challenge, yet it is essential for investors and financial analysts seeking to mitigate risks and maximise returns from mining investments. IMDEX is pioneering a research initiative aimed at quantifying the Value of Information (VoI) that OBK provides. Join us this Wednesday 24th April 4pm AEST with Dave Lawie to hear how this groundbreaking work promises to transform the mining industry by offering a clear, dollar-denominated perspective on the economic benefits of strategic, information-driven decision-making.
