Life of Mine Planning in OneStream

In this webinar, Ascend Partners demonstrates how a scenario-driven Life of Mine (LOM) planning framework in OneStream enables organizations to manage monthly, quarterly, and annual planning horizons within a single scalable model.

Join our experts as they explore how dynamic scenario configurations, automated planning frequencies, driver-based and inflation-based calculations, and streamlined scenario management can simplify Life of Mine planning while maintaining corporate governance and visibility. You'll see practical examples of how mining companies can support detailed operational planning, long-range forecasting, and flexible cost modeling without increasing model complexity.

Who This Webinar Is For

This session is designed for mining finance, accounting, and operational planning leaders looking to improve long-range planning in OneStream.

  • Finance leaders, Controllers, and Corporate Accounting teams
  • FP&A and mine planning professionals
  • Teams managing short-term budgets and long-range Life of Mine plans separately
  • Organizations using or evaluating OneStream for operational and financial planning
  • Mining companies seeking stronger site-level flexibility and corporate oversight

Key Takeaways

  • How to structure Life of Mine planning in OneStream
    Learn how scenario-driven planning can extend existing Budget and Forecast models across the full life of a mine without relying on hard-coded model logic.
  • Flexible planning across multiple time horizons
    See how a single scenario can support monthly near-term planning, quarterly mid-term planning, and annual long-range planning extending 40 to 50+ years.
  • Dynamic inputs, calculations, and reporting
    Understand how business rules can read scenario settings and automatically align input forms, calculations, and outputs with each period’s planning frequency.
  • Driver-based and inflation-based cost planning
    Explore how accounts can be configured differently by mine and scenario, allowing costs to respond to operational drivers or tailored inflation assumptions.
  • A connected approach to operational and financial planning
    Learn how physical volumes, production assumptions, costs, and summary reporting can be managed within one model while maintaining site-level flexibility and corporate control.
  • A more efficient foundation for ongoing planning cycles
    See how existing Actual, Budget, or Forecast data can be copied into Life of Mine scenarios, allowing teams to focus on updating key assumptions rather than rebuilding the model.
