SHERPA Underground
Streamline cost estimation for underground mining projects
SHERPA Underground is a comprehensive application that merges the dataset of Mining Cost Service with industry standard engineering practices, empowering users to effortlessly generate reliable cost estimates in a fraction of the time.
Mining Cost Service dataset encompasses equipment, utilities, labor, and more. It is updated annually and sourced directly from manufacturers, dealers, and mining companies, ensuring you always have the most reliable information available.  Â
The algorithm, which serves as the core of SHERPA, was developed by our engineering team over 25 years ago and has since been continuously improved based on client feedback and new engineering data collected by Costmine Intelligence.Â
This enables quick estimates with minimal project details required. SHERPA Underground effortlessly manages four distinct deposit types and presents eight versatile stoping methods, allowing you to customize estimates to perfectly fit your project’s unique parameters. Â
Backed by a team of experienced engineers and analysts specializing in mining cost estimation, SHERPA Underground offers unparalleled expertise for your projects.
Input
Simply input basic information for your project, such as total mineable resources, daily production rate, project duration, and deposit characteristics in different phases. Include engineering parameters related to specific site tasks, and SHERPA Underground will immediately estimate and display details such as equipment and labor requirements, as well as associated operating costs and hourly wage estimates.Â
Adjust
Improve the accuracy of your estimates by taking advantage of SHERPA’s in-depth customization options. Every value suggested by SHERPA is adjustable, allowing you to fine tune your estimate to meet the exact specifications of your project. And because every field is adjustable, SHERPA will adapt to any location in the world.
