Mineral Projects Evaluation With The Aid of Micro-Computer

With the adoption of market-oriented economic policies, Chinese non-ferrous metals industry has gained remarkable progress. The continuously increasing domestic demand for non-ferrous metals, however, calls for more import of raw materials in short supply, such as copper concentrate and bauxite. As an alternative for balancing the shortage and assurance of more stable mineral supply, direct investment in oversea mining project has come to the agenda. This paper discusses the computer-assisted method used for evaluation and comparison of potential mining projects.
