Once a deposit has been identified, detailed feasibility studies are undertaken to determine whether the project can be economically developed. These studies assess factors such as resource estimates, mining methods, infrastructure requirements, operational costs, and environmental considerations. For a project to move forward, it must demonstrate bankability, the ability to attract investment and financing.
BCM’s experience in mine development and operations provides valuable input during this stage, helping mining companies design realistic operational plans and cost structures that strengthen project viability and investor confidence. Complementing its technical expertise, BCM’s in-house financial advisory team supports project sponsors in advancing projects from preliminary feasibility studies (PFS) to fully bankable definitive feasibility studies (DFS), ensuring that technical, financial, and risk parameters meet investor and lender requirements.
BCM also advises and supports junior mining companies in raising capital across the full capital structure, including both debt and equity, leveraging its network and transactional experience. In selected opportunities, BCM may further align its interests with project stakeholders by participating as an investor through tailored financing structures, providing flexible capital solutions that support project development while strengthening long-term partnerships.
