NPV and IRR Analysis After discovering a new gold vein in the Colorado mountains, CTC Mining Corporation must decide whether to go ahead and develop the deposit. The most cost-effective method of mining gold is sulfuric acid extraction, a process that could result in environmental damage. Before proceeding with the extraction, CTC must spend $900,000 for new mining equipment and pay $165,000 for its installation. The mined gold will net the firm an estimated $350,000 each year for the 5-year life of the vein. CTC's cost of capital is 22%.
