Success in mining, like any business, requires that the minerals extracted by a mine produce more value over its operating life than was consumed in developing and operating it. Prospecting, mining and processing minerals are complex processes that cost significant amounts of money to undertake. Although the return on a mining investment can be high, it can also be highly uncertain.
