Mining Journal Intelligence Project Pipeline Handbook 2024

Mining Journal Intelligence’s Project Pipeline Handbook 2024 presents our pick of the 50 best mining projects in the world today, selected using a unique, objective scoring method. The aim is to identify quality – a daunting task for investors given the volume of projects globally.

Our evaluation process involves collecting 25 data points from economic studies, ranging from PEA/scoping to feasibility stages, as they are published.

This data is used to assess projects across 13 metrics in six categories (Economics, Jurisdiction, Confidence, Financeability, Engineering/metallurgy, and Geology) and to calculate an overall score out of 100.

The report also features an analysis of our database of more than 450 assessed projects, with combined capex of more than US$200 billion. More than 200 studies have been added since last year’s handbook was published (assets are removed when they begin production).

Owners of high-scoring projects are invited to present at the handbook’s sister events, Mining Journal Select and MiningNews Select.
