Abstract

The preliminary economic evaluation of a mining project is essential to provide a prelude to the financial situation of the enterprise during the useful life, and also helping the investors to know the relative risks and make the decision to invest or not. In the present final paper, was made a preliminary economic evaluation of the Turmalina gold deposit, located in Minas Gerais, which is a state with a very strong mining activity since the period of colonial Brazil. For this evaluation, the main financial guidelines of the project were stipulated and through them, to trace the cash flow and apply the financial evaluation methods, these considered presente value, cost-benefit relation, equivalente anual value, internal rate of return and payback. The result found was not favorable to the investment, but with the performance of a sensitivity analysis varying the values of total initial investment and product price, it was possible to find positive scenarios for the project.
