Mining Taxation (eBook)

Dr Pietro Guj is a Research Professor at the Centre for Exploration Targeting, at the University of Western Australia and an Adjunct Professor in Mineral Economics at Curtin University's Graduate School of Business. These academic roles were preceded by a distinguished career in the exploration and mining industry, in Asia, Africa and Australia both in industry and Government. He held the role of Deputy Director General of the Department of Minerals and Energy and Executive Director of the Geological Survey of Western Australia after a few years as a finance executive for the Water Authority of WA. Dr Guj's main interests are in project evaluation, risk and decision analysis as applied to the mineral industry and in the formulation and administration of internationally competitive resources regulatory and fiscal regimes; fields in which he has lectured, published and consulted widely internationally. In recent years, Dr Guj has been retained by the World Bank to direct research and capacity building programs designed to improve mining taxation policy and administration frameworks. The most recent of these projects addressed the fiscal challenge of transfer pricing in the context of mineral-rich developing countries, with particular emphasis on Africa.  

Dr Lilford and Dr Guj are also members of a team that recently won the Australia Award - Africa for the delivery of comprehensive intensive training programmes in Mineral and Energy Economics over the period 2018 - 2022.
