Sorry with corrections
NPV's are calculated using "real" diScount rates not "nominal" rates (the assumption being that inflation impacts both costs and revenues by the same percentage) so changes in actual (nominal) interest rates will have no impact on NPV estimates. The rate used (e.g. 8%, 10%, 12% etc.) to some degree adjusts for risk (so you might use perhaps NPV5 for a gold project in Canada, NPV10 for a potash project in CONGO).
