An Early-Stage Mining Project Valuation

We are excited to share a sample report for an early-stage mining project valuation.

We are increasingly asked to assist explorers with valuations of their mineral prospects for the purpose of capital raising and tax.

The VALMIN Code is the gold standard for mining and mineral valuations. However, there is a challenge in applying the VALMIN Code when there is limited, reliable data supporting the prospectivity or viability of a prospect. That challenge is that there are only cost-based measures available as a primary valuation approach with a cross-check to a less-reliable market approach employing implied value per square kilometre.

These are hardly reliable measures but developers are left without choices.

Peloton has developed a framework which complies with the International Valuation Standards (and, therefore, ATO Market Valuation Guidelines).

There is often a wide range of outcomes from the mining valuation approaches which can be employed for early-stage projects but the alternative (a highly speculative cashflow-based approach) is usually even less reliable and frequently biased to the upside.
