I have been using a simple spreadsheet for valuing mining companies. Just looking at spot value of in ground resource then discounting according to how long until production and taking out a reasonable per/lb production cost and adjusting for USD/AUD.
I think there must be a more sophisticated way of quantifying some of the variables and thus comparing companies more systematically.
If anyone could shed some light of share their experience on this I'd appreciate it...
Will also post on ASX.
