Governance Assurance & Capital Stewardship
Submit a situation for confidential review
Independent perspective on emerging governance exposure
Organisations occasionally encounter situations where capital commitments, operating environments or strategic decisions begin to evolve faster than internal visibility can comfortably manage. In these circumstances an independent governance perspective may assist boards and executives in determining whether the situation requires further attention.
If you would like TacminMadini to review a situation confidentially, download the situation input form below, complete it, and attach it when submitting your contact details. Where appropriate, we will provide an initial governance perspective indicating whether the situation warrants further structured review. All submissions are treated with professional discretion.
Alternatively, you may request the GDI Assessment results of the illustrative governance situation provided here.
Case study project: Integrated open-pit mine development.
Asset Environment:
Greenfield integrated open-pit mining development progressing toward first production under an owner-managed capital programme. The development includes construction of a mineral processing plant, tailings storage facility, site infrastructure and initial mine development delivered through multiple contractor packages under owner coordination.
Lifecycle Stage:
Execution & Delivery.
Triggering Situation:
Construction activities are advancing across multiple capital streams, including open-pit mine pre-strip, processing plant construction, tailings facility development and supporting infrastructure delivery. The processing plant is approaching mechanical completion, while tailings facility construction remains on a separate delivery sequence. Operational start-up requires tailings storage capacity and water management systems to be available prior to plant commissioning.
Capital or Decision Commitments:
Capital approval has been secured and construction contracts awarded across major delivery packages. Plant construction, mine development and infrastructure works are progressing concurrently as the project advances toward commissioning and first production.
Key Dependencies or Interfaces:
Sequencing between processing plant commissioning and tailings facility readiness, availability of water management systems supporting plant operation, contractor coordination across construction packages, and owner oversight of interface alignment across the development programme.
Potential Consequence:
If plant commissioning readiness advances ahead of tailings capacity availability, the development may face commissioning delay or idle plant capacity, creating capital inefficiency and governance exposure before operational variance becomes visible.
