CapEx360® for Mining 

The Only Mining-Specific Capital Governance Platform Designed for the Full CapEx Lifecycle

 Built for mining environments where Life of Mine planning spans decades, regulatory reporting is required, with capital decisions carry operational, environmental, and financial impact.

CapEx360® for Mining enables organizations to control, optimize, and de-risk capital spending across all project stages, enhancing return on investment and improving accountability.   



Mining organizations operate across long planning horizons, complex regulatory environments, and capital programs that span exploration, development, and sustaining assets.


Maintaining alignment across these dimensions requires disciplined capital governance.



CapEx360® for Mining centralizes capital requests, AFE approvals, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting within a single governed environment.


The platform supports Life of Mine planning horizons and ensures capital decisions remain connected from early-stage concept through execution and post-investment review.


Product design informed by senior mining capital governance expertise within the CapEx360® R&D team.

Where Mining CapEx Governance Breaks Down



As mining portfolios expand across sites, jurisdictions, and operating horizons, capital governance often evolves unevenly. Processes that work at a single site or business unit begin to strain under portfolio-scale complexity.


  • Investment decisions are made in silos, with inconsistent AFE structures, approval paths, and financial assumptions across regions.


  • Forecasts lag reality as teams reconcile budgets, commitments, and actuals across spreadsheets, ERP extracts, and disconnected systems.


  • Capital visibility degrades between approval and execution, limiting Investment Committee confidence, audit readiness, and post-investment accountability.


  • Governance relies heavily on manual intervention, creating operational risk as portfolios scale.


These challenges are rarely the result of poor discipline. They are symptoms of operating capital programs with tools designed for individual projects, not enterprise portfolios.

Core Capabilities for Mining Capital Governance

CapEx360® for Mining is designed for environments where capital planning spans decades and investment decisions must be evaluated across competing portfolio priorities.



From Life of Mine planning through AFE approvals, regulatory reporting, and post-investment review, the platform supports a structured governance layer that connects capital decisions across the full capital lifecycle.

Life of Mine Planning

Model and govern capital portfolios across long-term horizons, supporting Life of Mine plans that extend 30–60+ years across mining operations.

Align capital allocation across sustaining and growth investments, including  greenfield developments, brownfield expansions, and asset optimization, while maintaining continuity between planning, approvals, and execution.

Mining-Specific AFE Governance

Apply consistent AFE structures and audit-ready approval workflows across sites, regions, and operating jurisdictions.

Support regulatory and operational requirements while maintaining governance discipline, standardization, and Investment Committee readiness across the capital portfolio.

Regulatory and Statistical Reporting

Capture and structure capital data to support regulatory and statistical reporting requirements across jurisdictions, including frameworks such as Statistics Canada (StatsCan).

Maintain auditability and consistency while reducing manual consolidation across sites, reporting cycles, and capital programs.

ESG and Safety-Integrated Governance

Embed environmental, health, and safety validation directly into capital request and approval workflows across mining operations.

Ensure capital decisions reflect regulatory, operational, and ESG requirements at the point of approval, reinforcing accountability and compliance.

ERP-Agnostic Financial Lineage

Integrate with existing ERP and financial systems to maintain a continuous, auditable lineage from approved capital plans through forecasts and actuals.

Support portfolio-level visibility, financial traceability, and variance analysis across multi-site mining operations.

KPI-Driven Post-Investment Accountability

Support structured post-investment reviews across mining assets using standardized KPIs aligned to capital objectives.

Evaluate financial, operational, and ESG performance while informing future capital allocation decisions and strengthening portfolio discipline.

Digitizing Capital Workflows at Macmahon

Macmahon, a mining services contractor, implemented CapEx360® to replace spreadsheet-based CapEx tracking with a governed, end-to-end capital management system. 


Prior to implementation, capital requests were managed through manual spreadsheets, emails, and hard-copy approvals, limiting visibility and increasing governance risk as portfolio complexity grew. 


CapEx360® was deployed to support budgeting, forecasting, approvals, execution tracking, and post-investment review within a single platform. Automated calculations, audit trails, and consolidated reporting now support portfolio-level oversight and decision confidence.
