Financial Modeling for Mining Course Objective



Financial Modeling for Mining course will give you the skills to develop and analyze project finance models for mining projects. The course covers essential topics including modeling mining operations, debt sizing and funding, and investment returns analysis, and will provide you with a robust financial modeling skillset for analysis of mining projects in the most sophisticated environments.



In an online environment, you will go from a blank Excel workbook to a financial model suitable for investment analysis, debt structuring, and operational scenario evaluation. This course will provide step-by-step instructions on how to build a financial model suitable for analyzing mining projects.



By the end of this course, you will be able to build complex, real-life project finance models for mining projects.







What This Course is About?



Project finance models for mining are used to assess the risk-reward of lending to and investing in mining projects. The project's debt capacity, investment returns, and financial feasibility depend on expected future cash flows generated by the mining project itself and a financial model is built to analyze this.



In the Financial Modeling for Mining course, we will model complex mining project finance transactions from scratch in excel.

This is the same comprehensive financial training used to prepare analysts and managers at top financial institutions and infrastructure funds.







How Does It Work?



The course length is over 14 hours.



First, we will review the basics of mining project development, so we understand all essential components of mining operations and project finance transactions in the context of the mining industry.



Then, in the second part, we will review financial modeling methods and excel functions that we will use often in this course, to improve our productivity in Excel.



We will begin financial modeling in the third part, where we will build a financial model for an open-pit gold project.







Is This Course For You?



Yes, if you need to build, review or analyze project finance models for mining projects.



Typical students include analysts, managers, senior managers, associate directors, financial advisors, financiers, and CFOs from project companies, investment banks, private equity, and infrastructure funds.







Course Prerequisites



You will need previous exposure to Excel in a financial modeling context and basic knowledge of investment concepts such as NPV and IRR.
