It's a really good point schlemiel on how FMV is determined. I have very little experience in this field and I am sure there are some on this bb a lot more equipped to add some colour to this, but there are some loose guidelines for determining FMV under the VALMIN code:
D43 of the VALMIN Code (2005): Value is the Fair Market Value of a Mineral or Petroleum Asset or Security. It is the amount of money (or the cash equivalent of some other consideration) determined by the Expert in accordance with the provisions of the VALMIN Code for which the Mineral or Petroleum Asset or Security should change hands on the Valuation Date in an open and unrestricted market between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an “arm’s length” transaction, with each party acting knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. Value is usually comprised of two components, the underlying or ‘Technical Value’ of the Mineral or Petroleum Asset or Security, as defined in D36, and a premium or discount relating to market, strategic or other considerations. Value should be selected as the most likely figure from within a range after taking account of Risk and the possible variation in ore grade, metallurgical recovery, capital and operating costs, commodity prices, exchange rates and the like.
D36 of the VALMIN (2005) Code: Technical Value is an assessment of a Mineral or Petroleum Asset’s future net economic benefit at the Valuation Date under a set of assumptions deemed most appropriate by an Expert or Specialist, excluding any premium or discount to account for such factors as market or strategic considerations
