Synopsis

Fundamentals of mine valuation and management for practical decisions Discover a classic, data‑driven approach to valuing copper, gold, and other metal mines, with guidance on how price, ore content, and operating costs shape every investment.

This volume centers on the practical economics of underground mining. It explains how to judge ore reserves, estimate average metal contents, and balance the potential profits against risks. While it covers technical aspects of exploration and extraction, the emphasis is on how sound administration and engineering decisions affect value over the life of a mine.



Readers will learn from structured analyses, step‑by‑step methods, and real‑world considerations for evaluating mining projects. The book integrates underground development, stoping methods, timbering and support, drainage, and equipment choices into a coherent framework for decision making.




  • How to determine average metal contents and ore quantities from sampling and testing

  • Key factors in prospective and recoverable value, including price and production costs

  • Practical approaches to development, equipment, and administration

  • Structured examination and reporting for valuing mines and managing risk



Ideal for students, engineers, and finance professionals who value a clear, field‑tested view of mine economics.
