dc.description.abstractThis thesis addresses institutional investment management regarding mining capital investment (analysis, decision-making and administration). Emphasised is information processing and computer strategy to support mining investment recommendations. The topic is inter-disciplinary: mining, investment and information system/ computers. It is non-innovative in these individual areas. However, their integration here into a comprehensive strategy contributes to a poorly documented management area. This strategy minimises differences between mining and non-mining institutions as investors. The documentation avoids the theory of economics, investment techniques, stock exchange operations, minerals technology and computers. In deriving a total strategy, the objectives are to: * Identify practical problems in mining investment analysis. * Formulate the broad framework for problem solution. * Examine the existing analytical and administrative procedures. * Provide guidelines for more effective and efficient procedures. * Forecast technical developments over the next decade. The objectives were examined against personal observations during a diversified career in mining and commerce: The thesis was conceived after three years in active mining investment analysis. It matured subsequently in the commercial computer environment; but is firmly rooted in twelve years of earlier practical experience in mineral exploration and mining. The opinions expressed were influenced by contact with technical and financial mining directors, stock brokers, economists, mining and other sector analysts, portfolio and investment managers.en_ZA
