Joe Hinzer – Challenging Mineral Property Evaluations

ABSTRACT

The talk will focus on the restrictions imposed on the valuators by current regulations designed to protect the non-sophisticated investors. Specifically, what value can be assigned to historical resources in cases where compliant data are difficult to come by, such as in Zimbabwe, China, Russia, etc.?  A possible approach will be examined.
