This course gave me a clear understanding of how financial modeling applies to the mining industry. Using Barrick Gold Corporation as the case study made it very real and relevant. The sections on capex planning and exchange rate impacts were especially valuable. I now feel confident evaluating mining projects and company performance.

I’ve taken several financial modeling courses, but this one stood out because it focused specifically on the mining sector. The modules on depreciation and cost of debt were very well explained. The practical examples made complex concepts like EPS and debt ratios much easier to grasp. Highly recommended for finance professionals.

This is one of the best sector-specific financial modeling courses I’ve done. The structure was logical, moving from fundamentals to valuation metrics. I especially liked the discussion on cost structures and how exchange rate movements affect profitability in global mining companies. Great for anyone in equity research.

The part on forecasting revenue and assessing profitability was particularly insightful for understanding cyclical sectors like mining.
