  All Industries:  recent mandates have spanned Airports, Resources, Infra, and Retail

• Financial Modelling -all sectors
  Many of our mandates are purely re financial modelling, so it gets its own page -and we love modelling!
  Modeling helps answer questions
  • How to blend  different coal qualities to arrive at sales spec, and is it feasible to expand the CHPP?
  • If I apply inflation to opex and capex but not the product price ,  does the investment meet my IRR?
  • What is the appropriate level of IRS (Interest Rate Swaps) hedging on a loan given the forecast yield curve and our ability to repay early?
  • Does the high AUD forecast for FY2029 (thus lower gold revenue) mean we should cut capex that year?
  • Have we included all our costs, and are we using the correct WACC to solve the tariff for our infrastructure asset?
  • or simply: are the forecast cashflows correct in our financial model.

    Types of assignments : We build, re-build, and audit financial models for a variety of end uses: Borrowing, Lending, Feasibility of a new project, Valuations, IPO, Strategic Analysis, etc.  Clients want us to “uncomplicate” the numbers, and create a tool, which they can then use to make better business decisions going forward.

• Mining  Since 2016 we have been involved in > AUD$2billion of transaction re Mining & Infra. We execute a variety of workstreams:  financial modelling, CFO support, Transaction support, Debt Advisory & fund raising for miners.  For new funding, we have a wide range of funders across senior debt, mezzanine, project finance, leveraged finance, acquisition finance, royalties & streaming, and offtake advances from Traders. 
• Mines For Sale  (and processing plant).  From small beginnings: In 2021, whilst working for Chinova Resources re debt advisory, our client gave us $20m of copper/gold processing plant to sell as well as some small non-core leases, due to our extensive network in Australian mining, so we started a new page “Mines & Processing Plant For Sale”.  As miners around Australia, and globally, saw this page, they asked us to sell their leases, and so.. today we are the #1 ranking site in Australia for searches on
• “Mines For Sale”, and
• “Coal mines for sale”
  connecting Buyers & Sellers, with > $200m of leases for sale, across gold, copper, coal, tin, and critical minerals.
