Project Due Diligence
Ulara's core team is staffed by experienced mining project assessors and analysts. Assessment of greenfield and brownfield projects for acquisition or on behalf of clients is a key component of Ulara's capability.
​
Ulara's due diligence process comprises a comprehensive and critical assessment of a mining operation or an unimproved tenement.
Ulars's approach to mining project due diligence typically involves the following steps:
-
Review of technical reports and studies: This includes reviewing geological reports, resource estimates, and production plans.
-
Inspection of the mine site: This includes visiting the mine site to inspect the infrastructure, equipment, and facilities, and to observe the mining operations.
-
Environmental assessments: This includes reviewing environmental impact assessments and monitoring systems and plans to ensure that the mine is operating in compliance with environmental regulations.
-
Review of permits and licenses: This involves reviewing the mine's permits, licenses, and approvals to ensure that they are in good standing.
-
Financial analysis: This includes reviewing the mine's financial statements, budgets, and cash flow projections, as well as its track record of meeting production and cost targets.
-
Examination of labour practices: This involves reviewing the mine's labour practices and relations, including health and safety conditions for workers.
-
Market and commodity analysis: This includes researching the market for the mine's commodities and assessing their potential future demand and price trends.
