Mineral Reserve Weighting With Various Metrics

The partner company, Metals Economics Group, has been acquiring and compiling information and

statistics on the global mining industry for over 30 years. With an increasing pressure on existing

mineral reserves and declining productivity of reserve expansion through exploration and M&A

activity, the reserves have become a target for increased scrutiny. From a comparative standpoint, the

value of a reserve is dependent on a variety of external factors that differ from company to company

and can range from geopolitics to very nature of the deposit and how it would be potentially mined.

The project aims to combine such factors, based on historic data, to determine a weighting factor to

apply to the mineral reserves.
