Three ways we turn technical work into a defensible economic case.
Every engagement runs on the same fixed-fee, short-cycle model — a scoping call, a proposal, and a written deliverable you can put in front of a board or a lender.
Mineral & Energy Project Evaluation
Success cases →- Probabilistic NPV and cash-flow modelling — Monte Carlo simulation, P10/P50/P90 outcome ranges
- Commodity price and scenario analysis, exploration through feasibility
- CAPEX/OPEX benchmarks from real Tier-1 LATAM operating data
- JV, earn-in, and M&A structures priced before signature, not audited after
- Independent geochronology feeds the model where economics hinge on mineral-system fertility; independent geophysics feeds it where they hinge on water, ice, or ground
- Built in Python, cross-checked with stochastic and forecasting models, and delivered as a live, interactive Power BI dashboard
- Who it's for
- Developers, investors, lenders, JV/earn-in/M&A parties needing bankable numbers.
- What you get
- Probabilistic model + report + assumptions register + the scientific verification behind it.
- How it runs
- Scoping call → fixed-fee proposal → 2–6 week engagement → written deliverable + walkthrough.
Transaction & Exploration Due Diligence
- Independent verification for deals already on the table
- Reported mineralisation ages and exploration claims tested against independent isotope geochronology
- Water rights, geohazards, and subsurface structure tested against independent geophysics — radar data processed in Python and MATLAB
- Financial evaluation framed against JORC (2012) and NI 43-101 reporting
- Red flags and value drivers delivered in the language your lenders and lawyers use
- Who it's for
- Acquirers, juniors, and funds verifying a live deal.
- What you get
- Independent DD memorandum: red flags, value drivers, deal-structure options, claim verification against JORC (2012) / NI 43-101 framing.
- How it runs
- Scoping call → fixed-fee proposal → 2–6 week engagement → written deliverable + walkthrough.
Critical Asset Reliability Economics
- Shutdown campaign evaluation and costing for grinding circuits and heavy plant
- Preload and bolted-joint integrity audits, procedure due diligence
- Featured services for preload control and torque application on critical bolted joints
- At cold-climate and high-altitude sites: subsurface radar and glacial/permafrost analysis — processed in Python and MATLAB — place ground stability and water access in the same cost model
- Shutdown-frequency optimisation modelled in Python (HERMES methodology), reported through Power BI
- Who it's for
- Operations and reliability leaders, especially cold-climate/high-altitude/water-dependent sites.
- What you get
- Costed shutdown/integrity assessment with prioritised actions and ground/water risk where relevant.
- How it runs
- Scoping call → fixed-fee proposal → 2–6 week engagement → written deliverable + walkthrough.
