Project Advisory
Establish a sound basis for your next project decision
A mining opportunity needs a credible development path. Before committing further capital, owners and investors need to understand the information available, the work still required and the risks that could affect delivery.
Elabif SA provides project advisory support to help clients assess options and prepare for the next stage. We examine the relationship between technical assumptions, implementation requirements and commercial objectives, then translate the findings into practical recommendations.
When to engage us
Our advisory support is suited to early development opportunities, projects approaching an approval decision, proposed expansions and assignments that need a review of their delivery readiness.
What we support
- Review of project objectives, available studies and development assumptions.
- Definition of study scopes, specialist inputs and information gaps.
- Comparison of development and execution options.
- Review of delivery schedules, cost assumptions and procurement priorities.
- Project risk assessment and identification of critical dependencies.
- Development of governance, decision gates and approval requirements.
- Coordination of technical and commercial due diligence inputs.
- Project readiness reviews and preparation of decision submissions.
Advice connected to execution
We consider how a recommendation would be implemented. That includes the people required, the availability of key inputs, the sequence of work and the decisions that must be made by the client or its partners.
Where the available information is incomplete, we identify the gap and its effect on the recommendation. Clients can then decide whether to commission further work, adjust the development approach or proceed on an explicitly stated basis.
Typical outputs
Depending on the agreed assignment, outputs may include an opportunity assessment, a project definition brief, an options evaluation, a risk register, a study coordination plan or a submission supporting an internal investment decision.
The value to your team
You receive a clearer view of what is known, what needs further investigation and what must happen next. This helps management focus its time and expenditure on the issues that matter to the decision.
