Here is a sample of what can be produced with our new "Gold/Graphics" feature. We have created a cash cost curve for Canadian mines, identifying them by mine type (open pit, underground, etc.) and adding their names.

Gold/graphics is a powerful modeling tool, whereby quarterly cost curves for gold can be quickly and easily prepared. Choose between cash or production cost data and metal grades on one axis and production, reserves, resources or equal distance on the other axis. In this way you can quickly produce quarterly cash cost curves including:

- Virtually every major gold mine in the world
- Selected mines
- All the mines of one company
- All the mines of different companies
- All the mines in a particular country or region

The user can also do sensitivity analysis by over-riding the information in the database and adding his own information.

Are you looking for acquisition candidates? Are you a financier looking for projects in development? Use our flexible Windows-based database as a powerful analytical tool, to complement your own in-house expertise.

Do you want to know the control of production of copper? How many new zinc projects are coming on-stream? What is the average cash cost of gold producers? Who are the ultimate owners of a mine? The information is only clicks away.

For the past 20 years, Raw Materials Group has been mining and refining data, to bring you the world's most extensive mining data "Raw Materials Data", unsurpassed within the industry.

Raw Materials Data contains 22,000 entities (mines, smelters, refineries, projects, companies, associations, etc), a wealth of mine details (type, metals, grades, ore production and reserves, present and past metal production, cash costs for gold mines and more...), and covers 35 commodities. Company, mine and country data can be displayed quickly on exportable maps, documents and spreadsheets.

The database contains unique information on ownership and control, providing an excellent picture of each metal industry's structure and its evolution. As a natural extension, we have compiled mergers and acquisitions details from 1994 to present. We also have a "What if?" function that allows users to model company mergers and show their impact on production and industry structure and ownership. Our gold cost curve product "Raw Materials Gold" is updated with the most recent quarterly cost and production information.
