Coal Mining Cost Model Volume 1:Underground Coal Mining Cost Model

摘要

The revised EPRI coal mining cost models represent a computerized process engineering approach to the analysis of production costs and mining require¬ments of either surface or underground mining projects. The models estimate all capital and operating costs typically associated with the preproduction and production phases of a coal mining project, and may be applied either to existing mines or to proposed mine openings.nThe models are an updated and computerized version of the original EPRI Coal Mining Cost Models (EA-437, Vols. 1 and 2). In this updated version, data bases have been expanded and now reflect a mid-1980 base year for cost items. The process engineering costing procedure has been improved and an entirely new financial analysis procedure has been developed (P&L statement approach) offering many new financial options to the model user.
