Our approach

How we structure Mining & Remediation projects

01
Mandate origination
We engage public authorities at the planning stage, before formal procurement, to develop the concept, test the delivery model and assess IFI eligibility.
02
PPP structuring
Risk allocation, payment mechanism, output specification, performance framework and procurement documentation, aligned with applicable law and lender requirements.
03
Capital raising
Engagement with IFIs, equity investors and lenders, and design of a project-specific capital structure aimed at financial close.
04
Delivery & asset management
Project-company governance, EPC oversight, O&M coordination, concession compliance and ESG reporting across the contract life.
