Project evaluation course

Mike Warren and Paul Hodkiewicz, Principals at SRK Australia, presented a training course on Project Evaluation in Singapore in May 2009. The course, entitled “Valuation and Financial Assessment of Mining Projects - a complete guide to due diligence in mining,” attracted 18 attendees who came from mining and exploration companies, as well as accounting and finance firms.

As a result of contacts made at the course, SRK is now providing geological consulting to one of the mining companies, and supplying Leapfrog™ software training to assist the mining company to visualise their deposits in 3D.

In December 2009, Mike and Paul ran the course again in Singapore, with an attendance increase to 31. The attendees came from a range of companies based in Asia, with the majority from mining companies; however, the attendees were mainly non-technical staff who worked in roles such as accounting, business analysis, business management and business development.

The course attendees receive a thick volume of documentation from the course, which includes copies of the presentations and a large collection of reference articles and technical papers. The attendees indicated they appreciated being provided with such a comprehensive set of notes and reference material.

Paul and Mike have been asked to present the course twice in 2010. Singapore is the likely venue but there was also some interest in running the course in Jakarta and/or Bali.
