Project Economics Benchmark: PEA, PFS, and DFS Comparables with QA Filters
A stage-aware benchmark book for mine studies with cleaner comparables, explicit QA flags, and capital context.

Report Summary
Mining Terminal built this report for teams comparing PEA, PFS, and DFS outputs across a large, messy filings universe. It benchmarks project economics by study type, after-tax NPV, capex burden, IRR quality, and linkage confidence so buyers can separate robust comparables from rows that still require caution. The output is a research-ready benchmarking framework rather than a raw dump of extracted numbers.
