Whether you are an investor, explorer, mining company, private equity firm, bank, or insurer, we can help you make the best investment decision possible!

DUE DILIGENCE

Having participated in and led several due diligence exercises, we know what to focus on to ensure an effective outcome. This may take the form of a valuation, purchase/participation strategy, or walk-away scenario. Starting with a comprehensive generic due diligence formula, we customise the scope specifically to the nature of asset, owner and investor taking account of the market, technology, geography, resource, environment, and influential stakeholders. We are able to draw on a diverse set of international associates and specialists to develop specific discipline solutions or a complete turnkey assessment.

EXPLORATION

Putting a measure of success and budgeting for exploration activities is always challenging. Ultimately, effective exploration comes down to the right people making informed decisions using experience and insightful judgment. We can assist you by identifying those individuals required to set your exploration program on the right path and by providing critical progress reviews. Exploration planning is a live process and needs to be updated continuously. It is critical that your service suppliers are contracted to provide the necessary flexibility to enable continuous optimisation. We have first-hand experience in supplier selection (geological advisors, drillers, logistics, laboratories and geo-modellers) and will identify the relevant entry points for hydrogeological and geotechnical data gathering to ensure efficient use of funds, efficient project development schedules and solid geomodel results.

FINANCING

Having raised over USD 1.8 Billion in multiple project finance packages, we are well positioned to guide you on the ideal mix of finance options and best-suited parties to secure finance for your project. Supported by personal relationships with several banks, credit agencies, private equity firms, multilateral finance institutions and experienced legal teams, we can guide you through the minefield of project financing.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Project management can be challenging when you are presented with multiple opportunities. Ultimately, investment decisions need to be taken using a balanced approach to understanding the key drivers: Market conditions, Funding availability

Sovereign risk, Partner selection, Design and execution skills availability, and Economic metrics including NPV, ROIC, payback period, etc. We can assist with developing your project in part or for complete de-risking of the assets from exploration through to F.E.E.D stages.

PROJECT EXECUTION STRATEGY

A technical outcome is only half the solution. The nature of the project must be assessed to determine the best cost-risk balance for the client. We understand that each execution methodology must consider the nature of the project, client capabilities, lenders, scope, environment, stakeholders, cost and safety aspects. Based on first-hand experience of a range of methods and backed up by tried and tested forms of contract, we can assist in identifying, designing and implementing the best solution. As an independent party, we are not obligated to or influenced by third party entities and can work independently to achieve the goals envisaged by the company.

EQUIPMENT FLEET SOURCING AND PROCUREMENT

Finding the best value for material, equipment and services can be challenging. In addition, the pitfalls and risks associated with procurement can expose your organisation to governance and compliance risks. With a broad knowledge of international suppliers, a transparent and efficient procurement process and quantitative bid analyses, we can derisk your contracting and procurement function and pursue the best value to improve your bottom line while protecting your firms reputation.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

The effectiveness of project execution is as important as the design. In order to achieve a safe, on-time, within-budget outcome, you need to set your team up for success. Key tools such as Safety Management Plans, Responsibility Matrices, Reporting Templates, QAQC Management Plans, Payment Certification Processes and team KPIs are critical. We partner with world-class associates and firms to develop a project construction management solution fit for your project. Whatever you do, don’t abdicate these responsibilities to your EPCM or PMC. The owner must be in the driving seat.
