Documentation of the Inputs to the Resource Allocation and Mine Costing (RAMC) Model.

摘要

Each chapter documents a separate group of RAMC input parameters. Chapter 2 documents parameters used to allocate the reserves to new mines (including, for example, the total surface reserves, the overburden ratio distribution, and the clean coal yields); Chapter 3 covers parameters representing various costs of mining not calculated internally by the RAMC (e.g., coal royalties, severance taxes, and license fees); Chapter 4 covers parameters used in the financial calculations (e.g., the utility discount rate, the model mine costs escalator, etc.); and Chapter 5 covers parameters defining the existing mine steps on the supply curves (e.g., existing production and existing price).
