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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
