Conference Proceedings
Project Evaluation 2009
The Project Evaluation 2009 Conference was
held at a time of unsteady economic activity on the world
scene. Towards the end of 2008 there was a collapse in demand and price for the
majority of commodities, with a few notable exceptions. As a result for many
mining companies the ability to raise project finance disappeared overnight as
did the possibility of financing projects internally from the cash flow
generated from existing operations. This has had an unprecedented impact on our
industry and mining projects globally.
The conference took as its theme 'Moving Forward in Challenging Times'. These
conference proceedings bring together papers from best practice experts in a
variety of fields and cover the following topics: benchmarking/value adding,
improving financials/financial evaluations, project evaluation applications/back
on track, resolving issues in challenging times and risk
management.
