Abstract:
Projects at the initial stage of development (greenfields) play a significant role in the mineral resource complex of the world. Strategic and financial investors and other stakeholders need appropriate tools for evaluating such companies at any stage of their technological development. Common methods of determining the cost of mining projects at the initial stage of development are considered. The study is based on Russian oil-producing greenfields, as well as on listed mining companies data. Conclusions about the applicability of the DCF method to the real market are drawn. This data can be useful to appraisers of such projects, as well as to the academic staff conducting research on relevant methods of evaluating such projects. FUNDING: This article was prepared in accordance with the R&D plan of of the Institute of Economics of the Ural branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
