Governance Assurance & Capital Stewardship
Decision assurance
Feasibility & pre-FID assurance
When mining and infrastructure opportunities first emerge, decisions are often taken long before projects are technically proven, economically defensible or aligned with investor expectations. TacminMadini’s Feasibility & Pre-FID Assurance provides structured governance assurance from early concept through to decision readiness, enabling owners to rely on compliant resource declarations, robust feasibility assessment and appropriately defined front-end engineering scope. This assurance strengthens credibility, clarifies risk and supports the technical and financial confidence required to secure capital and transition into procurement and delivery.
Establishing confidence before capital is committed
Why it matters | Investment decisions lose credibility when they are based on assumptions rather than verified data. Incomplete, non-compliant or outdated geological information introduces uncertainty, delays funding and weakens stakeholder confidence at critical decision point |
Our focus | We provide governance assurance over internationally compliant resource and reserve declarations aligned with JORC, NI 43-101 and SAMREC standards. Geological interpretation, engineering inputs and modifying factors are independently reviewed to confirm estimates are credible, transparent and defensible for regulators, financiers and strategic partners. |
Outcome | Trusted, compliant resource and reserve statements that strengthen financial modelling, support due diligence and give decision-makers confidence to advance projects on a sound investment foundation. |
Where potential is validated and uncertainty reduced before development.
Why it matters | Projects often advance on optimistic assumptions that have not been rigorously tested. Inadequate feasibility work can mask technical constraints, understate risk and misalign expectations with investors and lenders, leading to costly revisions or stalled development later. |
Our focus | We provide governance assurance over scoping, pre-feasibility and definitive feasibility studies, testing whether assumptions, methodologies and conclusions are coherent, transparent and aligned with expected development and operating conditions. Outputs are challenged against execution realities and investor requirements. |
Outcome | Decision-ready feasibility positions that surface risk early, strengthen investment confidence and support disciplined advancement toward commitment. |
Where feasibility outcomes become execution-ready
Why it matters | Projects often progress toward procurement or construction with engineering and cost frameworks that are still too conceptual. Insufficient definition at this stage exposes owners to scope growth, budget escalation and schedule instability once delivery begins. |
Our focus | We provide governance assurance over the translation of feasibility outcomes into FEED definition, testing alignment across engineering, cost, procurement and schedule assumptions. Estimating logic, risk allowances and execution sequencing are reviewed to ensure readiness before commitments harden. |
Outcome | Defensible budgets and aligned, execution-ready definitions that allow projects to enter delivery with clarity, control and confidence. |
