Mining assets combine geological uncertainty, long project lives, commodity price volatility and complex regulation, which makes them among the most demanding assets to value. Valtech Valuation provides independent mineral and mining valuations in line with internationally recognised codes, including the VALMIN Code, JORC Code and PRMS. Our team of mineral valuation experts and in-house PhD specialists supports acquisitions, disposals, financial reporting and regulatory compliance.
When Is a Mining Valuation Required?
- Acquisition or disposal of mining projects, exploration licences or mining companies
- Stock exchange listings and circulars, including transactions involving mineral or petroleum assets that require an independent valuation
- Financial reporting – purchase price allocation, impairment testing of mining rights and mine properties
- Project financing and lender due diligence
- Joint ventures, farm-ins and restructuring
Valuation Approaches by Project Stage
The right method depends on how advanced the project is and how reliable its resource and reserve estimates are:
- Producing and development projects – Income Approach (DCF), based on the mine plan, reserves, production schedule, commodity price forecasts and operating and capital costs.
- Pre-development and advanced exploration – Market Approach using comparable transactions expressed per unit of resource, cross-checked against income-based analysis where feasible.
- Early-stage exploration – cost-based and market-based techniques reflecting exploration expenditure and comparable tenement transactions.
Operating Cost Assessment
Cost evaluation is central to mine valuation. Our assessment covers:
- Workforce employment and transportation of workforce

- On-site and off-site administration
- Environmental protection and monitoring
- Product marketing and transport
- Non-income taxes, royalties, other governmental charges and contingency allowances

We provide independent assessment of the risks that affect value, including:
- Environmental, social, and health and safety (ESG) factors
- Impact of NGOs and communities on sustainability and resource development
- Regulatory compliance, taxation and royalty structures
- Remediation, rehabilitation and mine closure funding
- Environmental liabilities of projects or properties
