Nine ways to start, none of which needs a committee

Where each package leads

The package answers one question. What usually follows is a standing mandate, priced on scope.

• Lead adviser on the transactionWe stay on your side of the table through negotiation and closing. The opinion is credited against the fee.
• Accompaniment through the filingWe run the process: pre-filing consultation, responses to the authority, the environmental consultant and the sectoral permits in parallel.
• Permanent local representationYour proxy before authorities, communities and suppliers, with the obligations calendar kept current.
• Standing investment committee adviserA current read on the jurisdiction for each decision the committee takes, not a file that ages.
• Retained searchThe full search, run on the map, in three milestones and with a 180-day replacement guarantee.
• Annual audit of commitmentsDesign of the engagement process and a yearly audit of what was actually agreed.
• Coordination of the technical packageWe coordinate the registered Competent Person and the independent valuator. We do not sign their work.
• Programme coordination through constructionWe coordinate the accredited providers; they execute and bill the training.
• Individual consultant to the statePublic-policy work is contracted with the person, under the organisation's own procurement route.

We do not sign NI 43-101, JORC or CH 20235 technical reports, we do not issue CIMVAL or VALMIN valuations, and we are neither an accredited training provider nor a certification body. Where that work is needed we coordinate the registered specialist and say so in writing. Field work, laboratory work and detailed engineering are outside every package.
