Research output: Chapter in Book/Conference paperChapterpeer-review

Abstract

While governments strive to secure income from mining operations through taxes, royalties and other fiscal measures, it should not set these imposts to a level that discourages foreign direct investment (FDI) or that sterilises an excessive amount of mineral resources or even worse renders projects uneconomic thus inhibiting their development. The most common imposts affecting a mining project viability, as discussed in this chapter, are the specific weight-based and the ad valorem mineral royalties.
