Valuation of mineral resources represents a critical economic framework that supports fiscal policy, taxation systems, and institutional revenue management. Establishing reference prices for minerals ensures consistency, transparency, and alignment with international market dynamics. The process involves using global price indices, constructing formula based models, and applying contract analysis to reflect market and quality variations. This training program presents advanced methodologies, governance frameworks, and institutional models for determining mineral resource values in accordance with international best practices.
