Exploration and mine investment is high risk, complex and multi facet and requires in depth knowledge and experience to be successful.

We assist project owners to obtain investment capital via project brokerage. Our expertise is knowing what type of projects investors are looking for, how to present the important aspects of the project and how to negotiate market rate capital agreements.

We conduct project level technical due diligence and then negotiate prospective projects into an investment agreement. We call this project brokerage.

Acid Mine Leachate is one of the largest environmental risks mining companies need to responsibly manage yet companies struggle to produce and maintain a leachate model commonly due to a lack of subject matter knowledge.

We assist companies to get started with establishing mineralogical and geochemical predictive mine leachate models over the life of mine, and/or existing stock piles.

We help companies establish their predictive leachate models and how to design a management program to responsibly manage. Our study team comprises geologists, hydrogeologists and geochemists whom work collaboratively to produce and maintain a geochemical leachate model for the life of mine.
