Impact Evaluation of Mining Production Optimization 2015Twangiza Mining (Banro Corporation)
An econometric evaluation of the Twangiza Gold Mine's expansion project, which aimed to increase processing capacity from 1.3 Mtpa to 1.7 Mtpa. The study used Net Present Value (NPV) modeling and sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of fluctuating international gold prices and operating costs on the project's economic viability.
The analysis identified critical cost-reduction thresholds required to maintain profitability amidst a downtrend in gold prices, leading to a strategic shift toward processing higher-grade ore to optimize benefit margins.
