Mining Exploration Services Procurement Intelligence

The emphasis is on the procurement aspect of obtaining mining exploration services, ensuring that the necessary resources and expertise are secured to carry out successful mining exploration activities. The global mining market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.5%** from 2024 to 2030. 

The five key stages of mining include exploration, discovery, development, production, and reclamation. Under this global industry, mining exploration services are also anticipated to follow the industry CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. Mining exploration, sometimes known as mineral exploration, is a multidimensional process that attempts to limit the search space to identify new mineral reserves. A few examples include - industrial raw materials (such as sulphur, salts, limestone, fertilizer minerals, etc.), ore extraction from metals (such as copper, zinc, iron ores, etc.), gemstones (such as opals and diamonds), and solid fuels (such as uranium, coal, and oil shale). Several surveys, whether geophysical, geological, or geochemical, are required to pick potentially attractive exploration prospects. There are numerous industries throughout the world that rely on underground mineral commodities for their supply. Future supply volumes could be significantly increased by emerging technologies, such as enhanced metal recovery (from waste streams or low-grade ores) or direct lithium extraction.

Mining Exploration Services Procurement Cost and Supplier Intelligence

Mining exploration activities are expensive, and, in many cases, it can be challenging to fund mineral resources. Mineral exploration needs large investments, persistent financial inflow, and extensive time with inherently high risk. From drill core collection to analysis, costs can range from USD 100,000 and much more. The primary cost components are drilling and preliminary exploration, facilities/ plant and equipment, labor, and freight and transportation. Preliminary exploration costs can include elements such as staking, surveying and trenching. Other costs can include materials and supplies, insurance, travel, haulage, testing or inspection, lateral developments (if any), overheads, etc. Factors such as location, regulatory landscape, ESG guidelines, access and infrastructure further influence the total cost of the services. For instance, in 2023, the global budget for nonferrous mineral exploration stood at USD 12.6 billion. Compared to 2022, this was a reduction of 3% in 2023. 

In 2022, there was a 16% increase in, on average, for non-ferrous mineral explorations. This was mainly attributed to increasing interest in the energy sector coupled with decarbonization efforts by companies following the COVID-19 pandemic. Exploration budgets for green metals such as nickel, copper, and lithium increased by greater percentages in 2022. The majority of the increases in 2022, however, went to gold on a dollar basis, rising by 12%. Some of the cost models used in this industry are parametric, engineering, analog, and hybrid models. Each model uses a different set of inputs and assumptions.
