In this presentation Hatch will discuss the major issues to be covered in investment evaluation and discuss the various analytical tools available with supporting examples of their use within the metals industry. Included will be discussions of an appropriate evaluation process to be used in considering multiple investment options which can be tailored to the unique strategy of each producer.
