From budgets to balance sheets, cash flow to capex, you’ll learn the basic concepts of mining finance without needing a finance degree. It's the kind of skill that makes your boss do a double-take (in a good way).

So, what's inside this beautifully basic course?

✅ Budgets, Balance Sheets & Profit Margins — Oh My!
Mining finance doesn’t have to feel like deciphering ancient scrolls. In this module, you’ll get the basics of how mining budgets are built, what those mysterious financial statements actually mean, and why your site’s profit margin is more than just a percentage your GM throws around.

✅Cash, Costs & Confusion – Decoded!

Mining finance terms can sound like another language — but learning to speak "asset-liability-equity-cashflow-profit-margin" makes you the translator every team needs. In this module, we’ll demystify the lingo, show you how to read the ratios, and explain why financial terms matter when you're making decisions that affect millions (of dollars and tonnes).

✅ Accruals, Depreciation & Other Fun Stuff (Not Really)

In this module, you’ll uncover how accountants sneak costs into your reports before the money moves (hi, accruals), and how expensive gear like crushers and haul trucks magically lose value over time (hello, depreciation).

✅ Cash Flow vs Profit – no, they’re not the same
Just because a mine’s profitable doesn’t mean it has cash to burn. In this module, we break down the key difference between profit (the number that looks great in reports) and cash flow (the number that actually keeps the lights on and the gear turning).

✅ Investment Decisions & Cost-Benefit Thinking
Become the Rube who can say, “Have we actually costed that out?” — and actually know what you're talking about. In this module, we break down the mysterious arts of Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) and Time Value of Money (TVM) so you can figure out if that shiny new haul truck, solar setup, or mine expansion is really worth it.

✅Plus a few extra nuggets of wisdom we couldn’t squeeze into a dot point.

Add this to your arsenal and you won’t just be digging dirt — you’ll be adding value with every decision.
