The goal of this course is to help participants decide whether they want to pursue the full Executive Microcertificate, while still teaching core concepts that will be useful for any career in the industry as a stand-alone course. This is the foundation course for the program. We are going to tie together our 4 core themes – sustainability, exploration, mineral processing, and finance, into a common economic thesis.

BRIMM208 will create an economic model for an exploration project’s fundamental business case. We will use the BRIMM goalpost model of risk management to deliver what is needed on an asset basis to have a viable exit and set up the risk-reward equation for each stage of exploration. Part of the course will focus on how to create presentations that deliver the economic case with limited data. Finally, we will talk about news flow, luck, and leaving real options open.
