Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the mining industry in order to identify how its projects resemble and differ from projects in other industries. This study also sought to determine which factors influence project success in mining projects,
Key Findings

Based on their analyses, the researchers could identify a cutoff point for each of six aspects of project performance. They also used linear regression to fit the data to a straight line, enabling them to predict the effects of increasing or decreasing the PDRI score by 100 points. The team discovered the following findings (FR-366, pp. v-vi). 

The structure of PDRI for Mining Projects built upon some standard elements used by previous PDRIs and added 112 new elements to 17 categories to create a tool specific to the Mining Projects.
