# CalMiner

A web application to plan mining projects and estimate costs, returns and profitability.

Focuses on ore mining operations and covering parameters such as capital and operational expenditures, resource consumption, production output, and Monte Carlo simulations for risk analysis.

The system is designed to help mining companies make informed decisions by simulating various scenarios and analyzing potential outcomes based on stochastic variables.

## Documentation & quickstart

- Detailed developer, architecture, and operations guides live in the companion [calminer-docs](../calminer-docs/) repository. Please see the [README](../calminer-docs/README.md) there for instructions.
- For a local run, create a `.env` (see `.env.example`), install requirements, then execute `python -m scripts.init_db` followed by `uvicorn main:app --reload`. The initializer is safe to rerun and seeds demo data automatically.
- To wipe and recreate the schema in development, run `CALMINER_ENV=development python -m scripts.reset_db` before invoking the initializer again.
