Mineral Raw Materials Economics

Summary

Economic context of basic mining activities (geological survey, deposit acquisition and processing of exploited raw material) and their impact on the economics of mining. External influences (development of prices on raw material markets, legislative changes and changes in technologies, etc.) and mining. Economic evaluation of extractable reserves of mineral deposits, analysis of investments in exploration and extraction of mineral deposits from the point of view of their economic evaluation.
The subject also explain other issues of mineral economics, such as the position of the state in the field of minerals, issues of the legislative base, but also problems of price developments, the role of organizations involved in exploration and extraction of minerals, raw materials and energy policy, international organizations and raw materials policy.
