Mining & Logistics
Financial engineering serving mineral resources and their logistics.
Mining & Logistics
Our view of the sector
Guinea holds some of the largest mineral reserves on the continent. The economic value of these resources depends directly on the ability to finance the logistics infrastructure that connects them to the market: railways, mineral ports, road corridors. It is a sector in which financial engineering and contractual engineering are inseparable.
What we do
- Structuring of financing backed by off-take contracts
- Advisory to mining operators and their logistics partners
- Credit analysis and rating of extractive-sector counterparties
- Structuring of guarantees and security over industrial assets
Questions we know how to address
- How can railway infrastructure financing be backed by a mining off-take contract?
- What guarantee structure suits a logistics investment shared between several operators?
- How should the counterparty risk of a commodity trader be assessed?
Structuring advisory for a logistics infrastructure project linked to the extractive sector — named references available on request, subject to the non-disclosure agreements in force.
Three reasons to entrust us with a mining & logistics mandate.
Financial and contractual engineering as one.
Off-take contracts, guarantees over industrial assets and the financing structure are designed together, not negotiated separately.
Credit analysis that knows the extractive sector.
We assess the counterparty risk of a commodity trader with the same tools as an international lender, not with a generic scorecard.
Risk sharing suited to shared investments.
Corridors, railways, mineral ports: we structure workable guarantees between several operators, not a one-sided arrangement.
