Synopsis

See how mining costs and profits shaped historic ore districts and the price of metals. This edition digs into real numbers, development costs, and the economics that determined success or failure.

This book examines the economic foundations of mineral production, with attention to costs, dividends, and the scale of operations in key mining districts. It presents practical data and analysis drawn from early mining camps to show how price, production, and exploration decisions influenced outcomes for investors and workers alike.


  • How costs per ton and development work affected profitability in mining ventures

  • The relationship between ore grades, smelting, and overall value extracted

  • Patterns of dividends, investment, and the risks of large-scale mining

  • How exploration and ownership structures shaped long-term outcomes for districts



Ideal for readers of mining history and economic analysis who want concrete examples of how the costs of mining drove profits and district development.
