Mining finance is stage-specific. The capital that funds early geology and drilling is not the same capital that funds plant construction or working capital at shipment. Serious investors do not “fund a dream.” They fund milestones, teams, permits, metallurgy, economics, and a route to monetization.
Mining projects are underwritten through evidence, not enthusiasm. The underwriting questions shift by stage, but the structure is consistent.
Is the geology credible, repeatable, and supported by data. Is the resource reported under recognized standards such as JORC or NI 43-101, where applicable.
Does the ore behave. Are recoveries evidenced by testwork. Is the flowsheet realistic for the orebody and local constraints.
Are the permits achievable. Is the land position clean. Are there community, environmental, and governance issues that can block development.
Is there a credible cost base, build plan, and schedule. Can the team execute. Is there a realistic path to first production and cash conversion.
This phase includes license acquisition, mapping, sampling, geophysics, and initial drilling plans. It is usually funded by founder capital, angels, and specialist seed investors. If you cannot fund basic work, you will not generate the data needed for institutional engagement.
Once drill results support a coherent thesis, the goal becomes a defensible resource and the early engineering inputs that let investors model outcomes. That typically means structured programs of drilling, QA/QC discipline, and reporting under recognized codes where required by your market.
Funding is still equity-led, but you can start bringing in strategic capital and larger specialist funds, especially if the project fits a known value chain.
This is the transition from “interesting geology” to “engineered development case.” The purpose is to de-risk the build path, quantify capex and opex at a credible level, and map permitting and infrastructure constraints.
Equity remains common, but investors will expect a clear milestone plan, a disciplined budget, and a credible team. Raises without defined work programs price badly.
Offtakers, processors, and industrial buyers can provide staged capital if the project fits their supply strategy and governance standards.
Royalties and streams can provide non-dilutive style capital, but they are not free money. They reduce future cash flow and require serious diligence.
Some investors use convertibles or staged tranches to manage risk. Terms can become expensive if milestones slip.
By feasibility stage, the conversation shifts to capital stack design. Construction funding is not “capital raising” in the abstract. It is a package of interlocking agreements, covenants, controls, and conditions precedent.
| Capital source | What it typically funds | What it usually requires |
|---|---|---|
| Senior secured debt | Construction and long-lead equipment, sometimes working capital | Feasibility-level studies, permits progress, security package, covenants, robust reporting |
| Mezzanine and structured debt | Equity gap and capex layering | Higher pricing, tighter controls, intercreditor arrangements |
| Offtake-backed prepayments | Working capital and sometimes capex support | Credible offtake, delivery mechanics, controls over receivables and flows |
| Royalties and streams | Development capital without standard debt amortization | Technical diligence, legal title comfort, downside protection for the provider |
| Equipment finance | Specific mobile or plant equipment | Asset security, supplier terms, service and maintenance discipline |
| Equity and strategic equity | Development equity, contingency, and sponsor alignment | Governance, board control, dilution acceptance, clear use of proceeds |
Production does not end the financing story. It changes it. Once you ship, the core questions become working capital, receivables, inventory control, hedging, and operational discipline. Concentrate and metal supply chains can support borrowing bases and receivables facilities, but only when documentation, controls, and counterparties are clean.
Mining exits are rarely accidental. The credible routes are familiar: a strategic sale, a public listing where appropriate, or liquidity via royalties and streams. The common failure is raising money without a route to the next milestone, then trying to sell a story instead of a plan.
A logical outcome for projects that fit a major’s footprint, processing route, or supply chain. Requires data quality, governance, and clear title.
An IPO or reverse takeover can work for the right assets and teams, but it does not replace technical credibility. It increases disclosure and governance demands.
A liquidity option that can complement or substitute for parts of the capital stack, trading future upside for current certainty.
As milestones are achieved, cost of capital can fall. Repricing and refinancing are normal when the project profile materially improves.
| Stage | Primary objective | Typical capital that fits |
|---|---|---|
| Early work | Secure ground, generate targets, initial results | Founder capital, seed equity, prospect generator structures, earn-ins |
| Resource definition | Build defensible geology and reporting | Specialist equity, strategic partners, staged JVs |
| Scoping and pre-feasibility | De-risk metallurgy and development case | Larger equity, strategic equity, royalty and stream discussions |
| Feasibility and permits | Make construction underwritable | Senior debt, mezzanine, streams, offtake prepay, equipment finance, equity |
| Production and scale | Fund working capital and growth | Borrowing base, receivables finance, revolvers, structured trade facilities |
