Commercial Risk Analysis

We help our clients develop and implement commercial risk management processes that are tailored to the needs and policies of each client. We call this the Commercial Risk Management (CRM) Process and believe that it is an essential tool for successful mineral exploration.

CRM Process

The goal is informed project decision-making — that is, early determination of project economic viability and timely assessment of the risks that must be identified and effectively managed in order to maintain the essential social license to operate throughout the project’s life.

Country Risk Analysis

As part of the CRM process, we help our clients identify and analyze commercial risks and understand the doing business requirements of new regions and countries where they desire to explore. We do so at competitive prices that vary with scope and the region of focus. [Learn more]

Our country risk analyses identify the commercial risks in the categories that are important to mineral explorers generally and to the particular client, categories such as personal security and safety, political and economic trends, and security of title and minerals access rights.

Our reports go beyond what is publicly available to include information about local contacts who can be of help to our clients.

Deal Making

We provide commercial analysis of growth and investment opportunities and assist with deal evaluation and transaction terms and negotiations, and with development of land access and exit strategies.
