Key elements for establishing value and marketability for a mining property:
Resource Potential
The first and most important factor for assessing the value of a mining property is to accurately define the potential of the precious metals in the ground. This is typically done through sampling, trenching and exploratory drilling to delineate the extent (strike, width and depth) and precious mineral content (grades) of the ore body.
Permits in Place or Attainable
Just as important as the potential wealth of the mineral resources in the ground, another fundamental consideration of the value of a property is whether or not it can ever be legally extracted. Operating permits in hand provide a considerable market value to any property. If these have yet to be obtained, then a thorough permitting assessment outlining the process for acquiring permits is needed.
Geological Data
Documented historical records and geological data from past operations is invaluable in progressing the effort to define the resource potential. Such data provides vital information for focusing the direction of new exploration efforts. CMC specializes in researching mining properties’ histories and compiling all such reports into a working data base to advance the property.
Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report
The industry standard for mining property reports is a “43-101” report. These reports must be written by a “qualified person” as defined by Canadian SEC regulations and provide a detailed, accurate and impartial description of a property’s history, development and geology including the defined mineral resources. Recognized as the “industry Bible” a 43-101 report adds significant credibility, value and marketability for any mining property.
Existing Infrastructure & Underground Development
A mining property with a past history of operations typically has some remaining infrastructure such as roads, water source, access to underground workings and possibly power. Any such improvements make exploration and development easier and less expensive adding immediate value.
Market Exposure
The value of a mining property is ultimately determined to a great extent by market conditions and the exposure the property has to potential buyers and investors. CMC can design a full marketing program with attention grabbing informational package and presentation materials specifically tailored for your property. We can also provide a unique opportunity to get your property seen by our extensive database of industry contacts and qualified investors who are actively seeking permitted mining operations.
