FINANCIAL, TECHNICAL AND ESG DUE DILIGENCE
Due Diligence Process
Our stringent due diligence process allows us to select some of the best precious metal mines.
1. FINANCIAL, TECHNICAL AND ESG DUE DILIGENCE
We examine the risks and other factors facing the mining company and its operation, including counterparty credit risk, social license, and political risks. We conduct a site visit and thoroughly review the technical aspects, including its geology, exploration upside, reserves and resources, mining and processing technologies, and ESG factors.
2. DEVELOP LIFE-OF-MINE PRODUCTION PROFILE
If an opportunity passes our stringent due diligence, we develop our production profile for the life of the mine, which may or may not reflect our potential Mining Partner’s mine plan.
3. FINANCIAL MODELING TO DETERMINE FUTURE CASH FLOWS AND DISCOUNT RATE
We determine the discount rate based on the quality of the asset, the life cycle of the mine, geological confidence, counterparty assessment, political risks and other ESG factors, and then determine the present value of future cash flows based on our production profile, discount rate and forecast metal prices.
4. TOOLS FOR DUE DILIGENCE, ONGOING MONITORING AND ENGAGEMENT
Documentation Review Detailed review of technical aspects of the mine, geology and processing methods Review of financial, economic and legal information
