Eight products. One project.
Move a price to see its revenue and NPV contribution.
Current Market is a manually maintained snapshot. It remains unavailable until all eight dated, sourced quotes are configured. Price presets retain advanced assumptions.
Advanced assumptions 2026 FS defaults
Changing these assumptions is not a pure commodity-price sensitivity. All annual cost and tax allocations remain reconstructed.
The tax multiplier changes federal and state rates; county property tax is unchanged.
Price movement calculator
One change from the current scenario. Other inputs stay fixed.
Trace the change in value
Price impacts use annual cash flow timing and end-of-period discounting.

NPV waterfall
Official anchor + advanced assumptions + commodity contributions = scenario NPV. Commodity contributions use exact Shapley attribution.
Revenue mix
Life-of-mine gross revenue, FS vs scenario.
Price sensitivity tornado
NPV effect per +1% price
Comparable percentage movements at current prices.
NPV effect per +$1/kg
Absolute dollar sensitivity. This does not measure percentage exposure.
NPV vs commodity price
Two-variable NPV heat map
Selected NPV basis · All other prices and assumptions held at their current values.
Annual revenue & cash flow reconstruction
Mine years 0–43. Cash flows discounted at period year + 1. Revenue timing is a stockpile/commissioning proxy. Stream checkboxes filter this chart only.

Your scenarios
Save the current inputs as a named scenario, then compare any two. Saved scenarios stay in this browser.
Compare two scenarios
Read the model before relying on it
This model estimates how commodity prices affect project value. It uses the published NPV8 as an anchor and a reconstructed annual cash flow engine for changes. Annual saleable production, fiscal schedules, stockpile movements and working capital are not fully disclosed.
2026 FS values
Economic-model prices, annual mined ore and grades, reported LOM revenue, payable totals, recoveries, headline NPV and disclosed fiscal rates.
Public-data calculations
Annual sales timing, REE allocation, revenue reconciliation, annual capital/depreciation, tax proxy and the fixed NPV calibration residual.
Your scenario
Prices, scandium mode, discount rate, mineral recovery rates and other advanced assumptions. The default model uses FS prices. Current Market is a separate, manually maintained dated preset with explicit sources.
Published base case

Base NPV reconciliation
Revenue & quantity reconciliation
Revenue is calibrated to the Section 22 component totals. These factors are monetary reconciliation factors, not estimates of physical payability. Recovery is not applied again to the payable totals.
