Mineral Economics and Project Evaluation
Mineral Economics and Project Evaluation Training
Build your confidence & understanding of mining finance through this Excel-based course on the principles & methodologies of finance & project evaluation for improving decision making in exploration & mining.
Course Overview
This course provides an understanding of the fundamental principles and concepts of finance and project evaluation as applied to investment decisions in the resources sector.
It progresses from simple Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) models constructed assuming funding at the corporate cost of capital, to consideration of the related project and financial risk, and factors that shape investment decisions under uncertainty. The final session will investigate decision analysis and the concept of Real Option Valuation (ROV).
Learning will be re-enforced by back of envelope numerical exercises and by the construction of a simple financial model of a mining project using an Excel spreadsheet.
