Abstract

NAVIA-VASQUEZ, Carolina; MONSALVE-HINESTROZA, María Camila  and  FRANCO-SEPULVEDA, Giovanni. NPV analysis as a function of the discount rate and cost of re-handling implementing SIMSCHED DBS to open pit mining. Bol. cienc. tierra [online]. 2017, n.41, pp.80-85.

The function of all software is to model situations that look like reality, in order to find the most viable conditions for developing a mining project, since in these what is sought is to increase revenue and reduce costs by making better decisions. In this industry investors seek to obtain the highest income in exploiting underground resources, with the aim of achieving return on investment. In this article the discount rate and the cost of rehandling of a mineral deposit hypothetical gold and copper is evaluated using the SIMSCHED DBS software. In turn a search for information, which can give clarity to the concepts with which you are working, is done. Based on the simulations performed with the two economic variables you can select the optimal net present value (NPV) for future flows.

Keywords : Rehandling cost; discount rate; NPV; Simsched DBS.
