Part of our consulting business is the evaluation of mineral and hydrocarbon prospects. Having confirmed that a prospect is worth pursuing, our client may in many cases be looking for the necessary financing of the costs of geophysical surveys, exploration drilling and test production, once a concession area is obtained. Somewhat counter-intuitively, succesful prospecting may lead to unforeseen capital demands!

On the other hand, we can advise investors on the probable values and relative risks involved in economic geology from another angle than finance professionals, because we are in direct contact with the physical reality. After the 2008 debt crisis, investors are again looking for rock hard value and solid ground under the boots.

We therefore invite investors to contact us and inform us about the level of risk they are prepared for, preferred turnaround time, and amount of capital available. We would then advise when we encounter a matching geological prospect. For example, an investor may enter to finance a drilling campaign, and take profit when reserves have been proved, or stay to enjoy his share of the profit from the production.
