The valuation of mining assets is timely given the recent upsurge in commodity prices and the spate of takeovers in the mining industry.

The book is written with the benefit of Wayne Lonergan's extensive practical experience and appreciation of problems applying valuation theory in the tough world of mining. Lonergan is able to explain technical issues in a reader-friendly style.

The book is a "must read" for anyone involved in or investing in the mining sector. It also fills a significant gap in the technical and professional literature with its capital markets perspective.

The Valuation of Mining Assets is an invaluable reference for finance professionals in the industry eg. those using the IFRS imposed requirements to assess fair value. Legal professionals who specialise in the mining industry will also benefit from reading the Valuation of Mining Assets.
