Effectively manage cost and performance for open pit and underground mine projects including pre-feasibility and feasibility studies, construction, and reclamation. HD PCM delivers increased accuracy, control, and visibility to owners, EPCMs, and contractors.
Integrate Cost and Schedule
HD PCM for Mining ties cost and schedule together for self-service, daily earned value reporting. HD PCM allows owners to easily create “what if” scenarios for analyzing cost/schedule changes and the impact of those changes.
Receive Daily Cost Updates
HD PCM is the only software that gives real-time approximate cost within 2-5% of actuals. Daily cost updates are available with 98% accuracy. Don’t wait 4-8 weeks after month end for cost updates; get them now to make decisions now.
Accurately Measure Progress
HD PCM for Mining offers detailed and timely project status information to gain immediate insight into what was estimated and budgeted, versus actual project performance.
Manage Complex Arrangements
HD PCM turns complex arrangements into easy, repeatable processes, including:
- shift and overtime arrangements
- multiple currencies
- labor bonuses
- time-based cost escalations
- varying advance rates and productivity factors
- extensive equipment modeling
- flexible calculations for indirect cost

Enables the ability to create “what if” scenarios across the mine plan, schedule, and cost model, providing instant answers.
CostMine Integration
Subscribers to InfoMine’s CostMine equipment database can access the library and populate the work back into HD PCM with one click.
HD PCM for Mining Empowers Companies:
- Maintain labor rate files that are specific to the area of work, and adjust resource rates for each project without affecting master rates.
- Model equipment rates in detail to automatically drive related costs, e.g., mechanics, fuel, tires, etc.
- Predefine crews and assemblies with advance rate/productivity factors.
- Use wage scales for automatic calculation of overtime costs and labor bonuses.
- Easily perform “what if” analysis and apply man-hour factors to adjust to project-specific conditions.
- Embed existing Excel spreadsheets and dynamically link the values to the HD PCM estimate to handle complex calculations for advance rates and indirect cost.
- Automatically track changes made to the estimate/budget with a full audit trail that shows the impact of each change.
- Take advantage of hundreds of predefined report output options, or create your own reports.
“Our bids using spreadsheets were 10-20% less accurate than those done in HD PCM.”
