“Newcrest is reviewing the impact of inflationary pressures on future capital expenditure and operating costs as part of the Feasibility Study, with value engineering and other cost mitigation strategies underway.”
Value engineering (VE) is a systematic analysis of the functions of various components and materials to lower the cost of goods, products and services with a tolerable loss (if any at all) of performance or functionality.
Cost mitigation strategies, speaks for itself really.
They will be constantly looking at how they can do it safer,faster,cheaper,better and they’re good at it.
