Mining investment decisions
grounded in reality.

We work with developers and operators, investors and lenders, governments and institutions, and acquirers and strategy teams. Assignments can concern early-stage opportunities, development projects, operating assets, acquisitions or closure liabilities. We also assess project pipelines and economic corridors. The scope reflects the decision you need to make, the maturity of the asset and the evidence available.

Depending on the scope, we deliver economic and model reviews, financial models, investment or acquisition assessments, decision-specific readiness findings and closure liability analysis. Outputs may include valuation and scenario results, integrated risk and evidence-gap registers, decision conditions and prioritised actions. We explain the economic basis, material uncertainties and implications for your decision. Each proposal specifies the deliverables, analytical depth, specialist input and limitations.

Yes. You can commission a focused assignment, such as an economics and model review, acquisition assessment or closure liability review, or combine services around a wider investment decision. We recommend a scope based on your priorities, available evidence and existing adviser work. You do not need to purchase a full programme or complete a readiness assessment before engaging another service.

We start with a scoping conversation about your decision, available information and deadline. We then provide a written proposal defining the work, deliverables, responsibilities, fee and timetable. Timing depends on complexity, data quality, the number of assets or options and specialist input. Where appropriate, we can phase the assignment, addressing priority questions first and agreeing any additional work separately.

We connect your advisers’ findings with our technical and economic analysis, identifying material assumptions, inconsistencies and further specialist needs. Specialist work, including detailed engineering, technical certification, legal advice, construction management and formal audit opinions, remains with the appropriately appointed advisers. We provide evaluation, modelling and decision support; we do not raise capital or execute transactions, and our work does not guarantee approval or funding.

We assess and disclose relevant financial interests, prior involvement and potential conflicts before accepting an engagement. We distinguish client-provided assumptions from evidence we have assessed and make the limits of our work explicit. If we have built a model or prepared a case, we do not present our subsequent review of that work as independent. Our conclusions may support proceeding, changing course, deferring or stopping.
