Metals and Mining Interview Questions

Hi fellow WSO's!

First time post here- I would be super appreciative of anyone that can assist me with these interview questions. 

  • How would a financial sponsor value a company with an increasing EPS?
  • How would you value a gold mine? 
  • How would you value a lithium producer?
  • How would you value a copper producer?
  • What impact does interest rates have on financial sponsors and corporates?
  • How do you look at tax depreciation in assets? 

Thank you so much!

Eric
