Support for investors & lenders in the mining sector
DMT's consultants offer technical due diligence as well as financial due diligence. Our aim is to provide investors with a comprehensive forward analysis of a project’s economics, against which to assess creditworthiness. We use certified members of the appropriate professional bodies to write and produce our mining studies and bank-approved reports, covering support for mining investment decisions, resource and reserve estimates and mine planning.
Independent Engineering & Consulting for Investors
Mining companies require independent technical reports for many reasons; they may be needed by financiers to support equity or debt investment, for regulatory purposes such as a new listing or in order to support technical disclosure. As Independent Engineers, we compile independent expert reports and analyses that can be used as a guidance for strategic and sustainable investments, mergers and acquisitions. Our consultants are frequently commissioned to provide independent professional assessments of mining projects, for example for M & A or to provide an independent professional report to support an IPO. With our analyses and technical due diligence for mining and construction projects, we have successfully served decision-makers and management in the mining industry for the last 30 years.
DMT also has considerable experience in acting as Independent Engineer for bank financing of mining projects. Typically, these appointments follow after initial due diligence. As Independent Engineer, DMT will work cooperatively with the project’s design and engineering team, whilst at the same time providing the Lenders with independent review and monitoring, as the project advances to completion and commercial start‐up.
With many members of our staff in possession of the status as Competent Person / Mineral Expert / Qualified Person (depending on the jurisdiction) and our wide range of geological and engineering expertise, DMT is uniquely well placed to undertake these assignments, and can cover most aspects of the analyses and assessments in‐house.
