Canadian Mining Valuation Standards and Guidelines (CIMVAL) — An Overview and International Perspectives
Abstract: What is a mining or exploration property worth? A valuation attempts to determine how much a mineral property is worth in dollars or other currencies. A valuation may be required for mergers and acquisitions transactions (M&A), government expropriations, capital market transactions, fairness opinions, private equity transactions, taxation purposes, litigation, arbitration, assessment of bank security, insurance claims, accounting purposes, initial public offerings (IPO), or asset disposals.
Following the Bre-X scandal, the CIMVAL Code was initiated and released in 2003. It was updated in 2019. It is globally recognised and often referenced in international mining arbitration cases. It covers standards for valuation and reporting and provides detailed guidance on best practices. It includes approaches and methods for the valuation of mineral properties at various stages, from exploration to development and production.
The International Mineral Valuation Committee (IMVAL) comprises members of valuation organisations from Australia (VALMIN), Canada (CIMVAL), South Africa (SAMAL), and the USA (SME, IIMA, MMSA), plus observers from other countries. IMVAL has developed a template of mineral property valuation standards, which can be adopted by the relevant national organisations of member countries.
