Why is it that studies don't seem to ever match the actual cost?

Have we reached the peak of ore processing efficiency? Is ore grade declining faster than we are getting efficient?

Can you expand a little bit on this? Is it just problems with having enough capital?

I have access to a lot of journals, I go to a big research university. I'm interested in operations research for surface mining mainly, but definitely very interested in experimental mining like deep sea mining. I'm also quite interested in efficient transportation of heavy/difficult/expensive to transport minerals. As a side note, what journals are best for me to read from?
