Mining & Metals
The Mining & Metals team's industry focus and experience uniquely qualifies it to
provide independent advice to the mining and metals sector, to develop ideas
into detailed proposals and to execute transactions in the best traditions of
investment banking.
The global resources industry, and in particular global mining, is in a
constant state of flux caused by:
- Volatile commodity prices
- Fluctuating currency exchange rates
- The introduction of new technologies
- Growing environmental concerns
- Constantly changing political and strategic pressures
- All these factors shape and re-shape the nature of our industry and result in:
- Major corporations being bought, sold, or broken up
- New companies emerging, often focused on specific commodities or geographic regions
- Companies restructuring and redefining their strategies
- New projects, often in developing countries, requiring financing
In such a dynamic global environment the need for experts in Resource Banking,
who can provide focused finance, trading and advisory services, is increasingly
important.
Mining & Metals provides corporate finance and strategic advice exclusively to mining,
metals and minerals companies worldwide. Specialists operate as a global
team out of offices in London, New York, Sydney, Shanghai, Moscow and
Johannesburg.
