Practical guidance for valuing mines, quarries, and related properties

Discover how to assess rateable value, weigh working costs, and separate royalty from profits to make fair, practical estimates. This edition clarifies methods for judging open and closed excavations and explains how case law shapes rating decisions.

This book presents a structured approach to property rating in industries such as coal mining, stone quarries, and related infrastructure. It uses worked examples and references to established cases to show how to apply principles consistently, while warning against overreliance on raw figures or imperfect books. The focus is on practical methods you can adapt to real-world assessments.

Learn a clear framework for estimating value, costs, and profits in mining and quarrying.
See how to distinguish between rent, royalties, and working expenses in rateable value.
Understand how courts have treated different types of excavations and why that matters for rating.
Explore the role of surveys, machinery, and capital in determining true value.

Ideal for readers working with mineral rights, property valuation, public works, or local government assessments of mining and related industries.
