VALIDATED MINING INTELLIGENCE • FORWARD-LOOKING ANALYSIS
What do you need to know? What is likely to happen?
OnlyDiggers is engaged to investigate specific mining business questions and provide concise, validated, decision-quality answers. We investigate the evidence, test the assumptions and tell you what matters — including what the available evidence suggests is likely to happen next.
Specific Questions
Start with the business question that actually needs an answer
Validated Answers
Evidence checked, assumptions tested and conclusions reviewed
Forward-Looking
Assess what the evidence suggests is likely to happen next
Decision Quality
Concise conclusions designed to support management action
A Different Model
You do not get a chatbot. You get an answer.
OnlyDiggers is not an open-ended AI interface. Each engagement starts with a specific mining, project, commercial or management question. We investigate the available evidence, test the assumptions, benchmark where appropriate and provide a supported conclusion.
2
We investigate and validate
Relevant evidence is reviewed, compared and challenged so the answer is not simply an unverified automated response.
3
Receive the conclusion
You receive a concise answer, the supporting evidence, key assumptions and — where useful — our assessment of what is likely to happen next.
Current OnlyDiggers Services
Engage us to solve a specific mining problem.
The services below are the starting point. The common principle is simple: define the question or outcome, investigate it properly, validate the information and provide a decision-quality result.
Announcement Intelligence
Announcement Intelligence & Context
Stop spending time monitoring announcements.
We review mining announcements and tell you only what matters to you. New disclosures are considered in the context of previous company information, comparable projects and relevant developments across the mining industry.
What changed?
Why does it matter?
What could happen next?
Receive a personalised briefing daily, weekly, monthly, or only when there is something worth mentioning. If everything is irrelevant, there is nothing to send.

For Managing Directors
Managing Director Intelligence Service
A private, ongoing intelligence service designed around the questions the Managing Director needs answered: what matters now, what is changing, where the company may be exposed or advantaged, and what is likely to happen next.
- Funding radar covering grants, government finance, strategic investors, project finance, royalty and streaming opportunities
- Investor targeting based on commodity, project stage, geography, cheque size and comparable investments
- Competitor monitoring across studies, drilling, financing, approvals, offtake, timelines and project economics
- Strategic alerts explaining what a development means for the company and where management may have an advantage
- Monitoring of relevant company disclosures, project developments and industry activity
- Identification of potential strategic partners, offtakers and corporate opportunities
- Support for investor communications, conference preparation and market messaging
- Concise executive briefings focused on what management should know and what actions may be worth considering
For Scoping Studies & PFS
Study Management
OnlyDiggers coordinates and integrates study workstreams, consultant inputs, technical information, financial modelling, validation and benchmarking so management receives a coherent study rather than a collection of disconnected specialist outputs.
- Coordinate mining, process, infrastructure and other specialist workstreams
- Manage consultant inputs, deliverables, actions, schedules and information requests
- Validate and benchmark technical data and assumptions provided by consultants and engineers against comparable mining projects and other available project evidence
- Identify inconsistencies, missing information, unusual values and assumptions requiring clarification or further investigation
- Integrate validated technical outputs into a consistent study framework
- Develop, provide and maintain the project financial model as technical inputs evolve
- Carry out sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis as project assumptions evolve
- Provide and maintain the integrated study document, incorporating consultant inputs, financial modelling outputs, benchmarking, validation findings and study conclusions
Specialist engineering is excluded from these prices.
Mining consultant, process engineer, infrastructure consultant,
metallurgical testwork and other project-specific technical studies
are engaged and priced separately.
The monthly fee covers the study-management and integration layer for the duration of the engagement. The project financial model is included and is developed, maintained and updated as the technical, operating and economic inputs evolve throughout the study.

Financial Modelling & Economics
Get the economics answered — not another spreadsheet to manage.
Provide the project data and the decision you need to make. We validate the inputs, benchmark key assumptions where appropriate, run the financial analysis and provide the outputs required for the study or management decision.
Project Data Validation
Identify inconsistencies, missing information, unusual values and assumptions requiring clarification before they flow into the economics.
Project Benchmarking
Test selected assumptions against comparable mining projects and other available project evidence.
Questions we can answer include:
“Are our CAPEX and operating costs reasonable compared with similar projects?”
“How does our recovery compare with projects using the same processing route?”
“Which assumptions in our study are outside the range reported by comparable projects?”
“What happens to project value if the gold price falls 15%?”
“Which variables create the greatest economic risk or upside?”
“Which scenario should management be using as the decision case?”
Financial modelling is included with Study Management.
The model is developed, maintained and updated as technical,
operating and economic inputs evolve.
Sensitivity and scenario analysis can be carried out as the study develops.
How It Works
From the question to a validated answer.
The client does not need to operate another software product. Define the question or decision. OnlyDiggers carries out the investigation, validation and analysis and returns the answer in a form management can use.
1
Define the question
What do you need to know? What decision are you facing? What uncertainty needs to be resolved? We agree the scope and required level of evidence.
2
Investigate and validate
We review the relevant evidence, test assumptions, compare information across sources and benchmark where appropriate. Material gaps and uncertainties are made explicit.
3
Answer and look forward
You receive the conclusion, supporting evidence, key assumptions and — where useful — an assessment of what is most likely to happen next and what management should watch.
Questions We Solve
What do you need to know?
Each engagement starts with a specific question. Some questions establish what is true now. Others assess what the available evidence suggests is likely to happen next.
What should management know right now that could materially affect our company or project?
Which competing projects are actually ahead of us,
and which are most likely to move first?
Are the CAPEX, OPEX, recovery and schedule assumptions
we have been given reasonable?
What is most likely to delay our development timeline
over the next 12 months?
Which investors, strategic partners or funding sources
are the best fit for our project now?
Which comparable projects provide the most useful
evidence for benchmarking our study?
Which recent disclosures indicate that a competitor
is preparing for financing, construction, procurement or a transaction?
What developments could create a strategic, financing,
partnership or corporate opportunity for our company?
