Description
Summary:Indonesia has enormous reserves of nickel laterite compared to other countries in the world, which has resulted in the increasing attractiveness of investing in nickel mining projects in Indonesia. The investment feasibility value and the risks faced by a mining project before mining activities begin are quite high, so it is necessary to study the investment value of a nickel mining project to trigger investors to invest. In nickel ore mining projects, mining project evaluation generally does not take into account uncertain economic factors, such as fluctuations in selling prices and fluctuations in mining costs. Usually, the company will assume that the selling price and mining costs will be constant throughout the life of the mine using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. Therefore, another method is needed that can determine the evaluation of project values and take into account these uncertainties, namely the real option valuation (ROV) multinomial model. With this method it can be seen how much the evaluation value of nickel ore mining projects is based on changes in selling prices and mining costs. The results of this evaluation can see the value of the option premium and net present value between the DCF method and the multinomial model ROV, so that the model can be proven to be used as a basis for making decisions. The ROV method is expected to increase the evaluation value of mining projects that accommodate the possibility of an uncertainty, so as to increase stakeholder confidence in decision making. This research can be a benchmark in determining the evaluation value of a project. The results show that the multinomial model provides a higher option premium value than the binomial lattice. This shows that the more uncertainty that can be overcome, the greater the rate of return on investment value.
