Project Pipeline Index 2024

View our 50 top mining projects, handpicked using a unique, objective selection process from a database of 450+ global assets.

Mining IQ’s Project Pipeline Index 2024, powered by Mining Journal, 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.

Methodology:

Data is collected from economic studies, ranging from the PEA to feasibility stages, as they are published, and fed into our database.

Projects are assessed across 13 metrics, which make up three primary and three subsidiary categories, to give an overall score out of 100.

The primary categories – Economics, Jurisdiction, and Confidence – account for 40%, 20%, and 15%, respectively, of the overall rating.

In the subsidiary categories, Financeability makes up 10% of the score, with Engineering/metallurgy and Geology each weighted at 7.5%.

Projects are removed from the database once they enter production.
