About this title

Synopsis

Valuing Mining Companies covers all aspects of mining, mining company evaluation, and financial valuation. It starts with a guide to history, focusing on the more recent aspects of the discovery of diamonds in Canada to the Bre-X fraud in Indonesia. This book provides an international view of the mining and metals industry from a historical perspective of mines and mining to potential problems encountered in attempting to value a mining company.
In order to value a company it is necessary to evaluate its prospects from all points of view. This author goes through geology, mining, mineral processing, and the final marketing and pricing of a material commodity. It details the techniques used to value mining companies with a forecast of which metals will benefit in the future. The chapters devoted to accounting practices and taxation of mining companies provide essential information on the financial aspects of mining.
Valuing Mining Companies provides a one-stop resource that answers all your questions about analyzing mining companies. The geological and mining aspects covered give you an understanding of the various practices of mining, even if you have no technical knowledge.
