What an incredible 2024 we've had! From Australia to Africa, the US to Europe, we worked on projects worldwide and presented on topics such as mining project finance to groups like the CFA Society. Plus, we delivered corporate modelling training across the Middle East, Asia, and Australia.

As we wrap up 2024, we'd like to wish you a safe, healthy, and joyous holiday season. Here's to a fantastic 2025! Thank you for being an invaluable part of our network.

Successful Mine Funding: A five year retrospective

A throwback to the past

Patrick Leung (Naust Capital) and I presented a series of talks in 2023 to various groups (AusIMM, CFA Society, CPA Australia) on successful mine funding.

We gathered ASX data from 2018 to 2023 to determine common attributes and success factors behind successful funded mines.

 Here’s the TL;DR* version: Successful Mine Funding Infographic
