Value Added for Stakeholders in Mining Operations Based on Cash Flow

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present certain trends in the distribution of value created by businesses for groups of stakeholders as part of a conception of sustainable growth. The articles defines value, who this value should benefit, and in what way it should be distributed. A method for measuring distributed value based on cash flow is demonstrated. The current value of this cash flow within a definite timeframe may serve as a potential indicator for the continuation or liquidation of operations in terms of the maintenance or loss of benefit for stakeholders.
