Evaluation Of Mineral Projects

The art of mineral project evaluation involves understanding the key principles and project drivers, as well as identifying and quantifying the level of risk to determine the viability of a project. There are three key questions that must be answered before entering the process of evaluating mineral projects.

Mineral Project Evaluation. Developing a mineral project evaluation is like putting together a large puzzle where the pieces are held by different participants in different disciplines. While the math is important, what really matters is really matters is sourcing and understanding the data, risks, and assumptions that go into the cash flow.

01-03-1998· Designed to complement traditional engineering texts, this book emphasizes the concepts of mineral project evaluation rather than computational details. It describes various economic evaluation techniques typically employed (including conventional cost analysis, discounted cash flow, and option analysis), their uses, and their relationships with geological, technological, and financial ...

The predominant economic evaluation technique for a mineral project, from pre-feasibility study stage to operating mine, is the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. A DCF evaluation will include a detailed year-by-year cash flow projection spanning the life of the mineral reserves plus the DCF metrics of net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR).

While the math is important, what really matters is really matters is sourcing and understanding the data, risks, and assumptions that go into the cash flow.

The economic evaluation of a mineral project requires a great deal of diverse information to be brought together in one place. ... Concentrate Smelter Contracts - If a mineral project produces a concentrate, then it sells the concentrate, not just the individual metals in it.

Sensible valuation of mineral properties has become more critical through the current market cycle. Valuation of mineral properties at the exploration stage is an area where both valuators and users of valuations need to understand the challenges and uncertainties involved.

5. DIY evaluation is possible. Although a full blown evaluation may be difficult, and external evaluators may not be in your budget, a project team can look for opportunities to weave evaluation into other activities. For example, consider adding a question or two onto another survey you may be fielding for a different purpose.
