We have released the worksheet that you should use to develop an initial cost estimate for your solution to the Developing Low Impact Mining Approaches Challenge. Access here.
We recognize that at this stage, an accurate cost estimate will not be possible. At the same time, our overall objective is to identify cost-effective ideas/solutions, so the cost feasibility of the approach is central to the Challenge. Our initial focus for evaluating costs will be related to operating costs (Opex). A completed cost estimate worksheet will be important for helping us evaluate your Challenge submission. While a completed worksheet is a minimum requirement of your entry, you may expand upon the template if desired.
If you have any questions about this worksheet, please post them in the challenge forum.
