Designed to complement traditional engineering texts, this book emphasizes the concepts of mineral project evaluation rather than computational details. It describes various economic evaluation techniques typically employed (including conventional cost analysis, discounted cash flow, and option analysis), their uses, and their relationships with geological, technological, and financial evaluations.

The textbook has been written to compliment the presentation of material in the short course described in this site. You receive a copy of the text when attending a seminar. The text is filled with examples illustrating various investment scenarios found not only in the resource industries, such as mining, oil and gas, chemical and refining but also in the processing, pipeline, energy and other sectors. The examples and problems at the end of each chapter focus on a specific ?economic? issue, which can be as simple as computing the present value of a future cash flow, to addressing multiple solutions in a cost-income-cost cash flow stream.

Book briefly discusses decision-making basic theory, in particular the deliberation method, and applies it to decision-making in the mining sector when making investment agreements between government and the private sector. However, decisions could be examined and applied in every industry sector. For instance, the mining sector includes many different decision making methods such as cost benefit analysis and socio-economic, environmental and health impact assessments. Every analysis and impact assessment requires different stakeholder participants and analysts from different sciences. This can sometimes make decisions more complicated. My book analyzes the planned Oyu Tolgoi (OT) copper and gold project in Mongolia using the Multi Account Evaluation method, which includes financial, economical, social and environmental analysis. It also briefly discusses social and environmental impacts from the Mongolian government point of view and whether this project will have a positive or negative influence on Mongolian economic and social development. My thesis also shows the current Mongolian decision-making situation and its problems.
