What Independent Mining Consulting Delivers
Independent geological consulting provides clients with unbiased technical assessments. free from the conflicts of interest that can arise when geological advice is provided by a party with a financial stake in the outcome. Bart Mining operates as an independent advisor, bringing field expertise and analytical rigour to every engagement.
Project Generation and Target Selection
For companies entering East or Southern Africa for the first time, or seeking to expand their licence portfolio, project generation services provide systematic identification and ranking of exploration targets. The process integrates: review of national geological survey databases, aeromagnetic and geochemical data compilation, structural interpretation, assessment of analogous deposits, and on-the-ground reconnaissance of the most prospective areas. The deliverable is a prioritised list of licence targets with supporting rationale and estimated exploration costs.
Technical Due Diligence
Technical due diligence (TDD) is required when acquiring an exploration or mining asset. whether as a direct purchase, joint venture, or as part of investment or lending decisions. A thorough TDD review covers:
- Geological database validation and QA/QC review
- Independent resource estimate review or re-estimation
- Assessment of exploration upside and risks
- Regulatory and tenement status review
- Environmental liability assessment
- Operating cost and capital cost benchmarking
- Management team and technical capability assessment
Bart Mining has conducted TDD assignments for private equity funds, streaming companies, royalty financiers and strategic acquirers across East and Southern Africa.
