Project Timelines APP

Have you ever wondered how long it takes to develop a mining project and the sequence of activities that management has undertaken?  Some say it takes 18 years to develop a project, but is that true?

The Project Timeline Tracker APP is a collaborative online site where anyone can (a) view some mining project timelines, (b) add new milestone events to an existing project, and (c) create a new project and add its milestone events.   Anyone can track the progress of their favorite project and share it with others.

This platform was originally developed as a way for me to learn how to use Zite.   It took about 3 hours to build this app using the free Zite account.  Most of the time was spent fine tuning the user interface layout.   Zite is amazing.  Since I built this, I decided why not launch it.  Its not perfect but works, and maybe over time if can become something useful.

The goal of the platform is to illustrate how different projects advance from exploration to studies to construction and finally production.   If you have a project of interest, you can create it and add to the list.  You just need to list out all the significant milestone, usually collected from new releases.

For each project, one can insert multiple milestone events with the event date and a comment.   The event milestone must consist of one of the following categories below.   The comment field can be used to provide more detail, especially if using "Other".

• Exploration

• Mineral Resource Estimate

• Preliminary Economic Assessment

• Prefeasibility Study

• Feasibility Study

• Permitting Start

• Permit Approval

• Construction Start

• Commissioning

• Production

• Other (could be a financing, merger, partnership, etc.)

Template:  You can download a blank template (in html format) to help organize your input data.   At this time, all the information must be loaded manually into the Tracker in order to monitor accuracy.   In the future we may configure it to enable a datafile upload.   Consider  this a MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

Caution: Presently these project timelines are open source and can be modified by anyone at anytime.  Hence there is no guarantee of their accuracy.  If there are any issues, please let me know at kjkltd@rogers.com and the project will be deleted.  Right now only I can delete a project.

This Tracker is login protected but open to everyone to maintain transparency and collaboration.  Zite will not allow unsecured access to their hosted databases.

I'm always happy to hear about ideas, improvements, bugs (nobody said AI is perfect at writing code).
