This review is from: The Mining Valuation Handbook: Mining and Energy Valuation for Investors and Management (Hardcover)

This book is excellent. It's very easy to understand for a lay person and organized in a very systematic and step by step fashion. As someone moving from real estate investment in Russia into mining investment in Australia, I am certain that this book will be a constant resource to me in the future. It's a shame there aren't more books on investing that are so packed with information yet easy to follow for a novice. Definitely worth a read whether you are entering this field or simply looking for a way to understand a potential personal investment. Read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good reference book for those interested in what drives the value of companies in the extractive industries, November 6, 2007

This review is from: The Mining Valuation Handbook: Australian Mining and Energy Valuation for Investors and Management (Hardcover)

Despite a significant growth of interest in commodities recently there are not many books on valuation of companies in the extractive industries. Dr. Rudenno's book is a rather rare example of industry expertise well explained. A good reference book for those interested in what drives the value of companies in the extractive industries
