The project development process

A resources project faces different challenges throughout the development process. Regardless of what stage of the development process your resources project is at, Corality can help.

1. Pre-feasibility

At the pre-feasibility stage your project’s direction is heavily influenced by exploration decisions and early stage alignment with the right commercial parties. It is important to improve and sustain the confidence in your project and understand how different scenarios impact your project.

During the pre-feasibility stage Corality can provide strategic analysis including valuations and risk reviews, and financial modelling assistance including scenario and options modelling.

2. Bankable feasibility

During the bankable feasibility stage it is important to ensure your project is bankable from a credit perspective, to understand the technical challenges and to have an independently audited financial model.

During the bankable feasibility stage Corality can assist you in preparing a "bankable" financial model, with the promotion of your project in the appropriate debt markets, debt sizing and structuring analysis as well as formal model audits.

3. Financing

During the financing stage, the choice of bank is crucial for the upcoming credit process. At this stage it is important to get in contact with the right bank, the right office and even the right banker, and to make sure your financial model is ready for the audit process.

During the financing stage Corality can help you optimise the project finance process and provide essential transaction support including assistance with project finance documents, negotiations and analytical support through to financial close.
