Optimized Mining Project Financing |
|
|
|
Background: Project financing is used the world
over for the development of capital-intensive assets, such as mining,
because as the name suggests, it shifts some of the project's risks
from the borrower onto the lenders. Its benefits to the sponsor are
considerable and it has been used extensively in "emerging markets".
In this workshop, the whole picture of the mining project financing
will be well presented and deliberated. The workshop leader will guide
you through the full processes and pitfalls in every specific aspect
for the parties involved. Practical case studies will also be adopted
to show real-life success. |

Risk Management for Chinese Mining Corporations
in Overseas Investment in Mineral Resources |
|
|
|
Background: With the call of "Go-out" strategy,
Chinese Mining corporations are keeping their eyes open for more development
and profit opportunities in overseas mineral resources. Different
cultures, elusive government policies and uncertain factors incur
risks for such overseas investment, especially in the mineral resources
sectors. Financial and non-financial risks are the two main categories
mining corporations confront in this quest.
In this workshop, we will discuss how to estimate and assess potential
risks and mitigate. The workshop will lead you to the practical
solutions to various common problems in key overseas markets from
a multi-level view point. |
