Project finance modelingMining feasibility
Financial models and project economics for mining companies advancing through a Preliminary Economic Assessment, a Pre-Feasibility Study or a Feasibility Study. We translate technical results into credible DCF models, funding plans and investor-ready materials.
When mining companies call us
Feasibility work determines whether a project is viable, how much it will cost to build and whether it can earn a sufficient return. These are the moments the financial side matters most.
A first view of project economics that has to be credible enough to justify the next stage of spending.
More detailed engineering and costs, and a model that has to keep pace with them.
Equity, debt, streaming or offtake financing, each of which reads the economics differently.
Majors, offtakers and joint venture partners who need investor-grade financials before they engage.
Commodity prices, recoveries, capital and operating costs, tested before the market tests them.
Capital-efficient, milestone-driven decisions on what to advance, defer or sell.
How we help
Financial analysis for junior exploration companies, TSX-V, CSE and private mining companies, and the technical teams advancing their studies, across gold, copper, lithium, graphite, rare earths and other commodities.
Discounted cash flow models aligned with the engineering inputs and the economic analysis in your technical report, with NPV, IRR and payback on a consistent basis.
The model stress-tested across commodity prices, recovery rates, operating and capital cost changes, and funding scenarios.
Equity, debt, streaming and offtake structures mapped to the project phase, the jurisdiction and the capital needs.
Assumptions checked against benchmarks and comparable projects, for credible unit costs and contingencies.
The economics distilled into clear decks, data rooms and one-pagers for institutional investors and partners.
A sounding board in discussions with engineering firms, consultants, lenders and potential partners.
Mining finance in Vancouver
Vancouver is one of the world’s leading centres for mining finance, home to exploration and development companies, engineering firms, specialist investors and the lenders, streaming companies and offtakers that fund projects around the world.
We know how capital gets allocated in this market and how to position feasibility work to meet institutional standards. We have worked with TSX-V and CSE-listed companies, private operators and pre-IPO firms across precious metals, base metals, battery minerals and industrial materials.
The economic analysis in a technical report has to match the engineering, metallurgy and mine plan behind it. We work alongside the qualified persons and engineering firms so the financial model reflects their inputs exactly.
Junior miners often combine equity with streaming, royalties, offtake prepayments and project debt. Each changes the project economics differently, and investors want to see the combined picture.
Specialist resource investors in Vancouver read many studies. Clear assumptions, sensible discount rates and transparent sensitivities build credibility; aggressive inputs lose it quickly.
A study is also a market event. Its results need to be explained clearly to investors, alongside the risks and the funding path to production, which is where our equity research can help.
Our view
Engineering determines whether a deposit can be mined. The financial analysis determines whether it should be, and whether investors and lenders will fund it. Both need the same rigour.
We bring capital markets and financial expertise to feasibility work, translating technical results into models and materials that stand up to scrutiny from lenders, investors and boards.

It depends on the scope. After a first conversation we send a written proposal setting out the scope, the stages and the fees, so the cost is clear before any work begins.
No. Many of our clients are based in Vancouver, but their projects are located across Canada and internationally.
