Building value from knowledge

The Minerals and waste management section considers the valuation of mineral-producing and waste management operations. An accurate valuation of these operations depends on the valuer having an understanding of their overall nature and an appreciation of their physical features. Valuers must also possess an understanding of the business' trading aspects; an ability to prepare accurate forecasts of the future trading environment; a detailed knowledge of the market and of the planning and legal controls to which these activities are subject. This section addresses these points, many of which are unusual and not found in other types of property valuation.
