Independent Expert Work for Mining Transactions
IMC Mining provides independent expert technical input for mining transactions — capital raisings, IPOs, lender reviews, acquisitions, divestments and board-level investment decisions — combining independent technical assessment, JORC / NI 43-101 / CRIRSCO-aligned reporting, due diligence, valuation support, mine planning, cost modelling and enterprise financial analysis.
IMC Mining provides independent expert technical input for mining transactions: capital raisings, IPOs, lender reviews, acquisitions, divestments and board-level investment decisions. Our independent expert work combines objective technical assessment, JORC / NI 43-101 / CRIRSCO-aligned reporting, due diligence, valuation support, mine planning, cost modelling and enterprise financial analysis — under one accountable signatory.
What independent expert work covers
Whether you are raising capital, listing, lending, buying or selling, an independent technical opinion gives the market confidence. IMC provides:
- Independent Expert Reports and mining expert reports for transactions and disputes.
- Independent Technical Reports (ITRs) for IPOs, listings and project finance.
- Technical due diligence — acquisition due diligence, vendor due diligence and lender technical review.
- Transaction support — IPO support, capital-raising support and board investment review.
- Valuation support grounded in auditable mine planning, costing and financial modelling.
Independence and code compliance
An independent expert opinion is only as good as its objectivity and its compliance. IMC acts as an independent technical expert, with a Competent Person / Qualified Person accountable for each material area, reporting to JORC, NI 43-101 and the broader CRIRSCO-aligned standards that exchanges, lenders and regulators require.
What we deliver
Because IMC owns the full technical-to-financial chain, an independent expert report rests on auditable foundations rather than assertion: a defensible resource and reserve basis, physics-based mine planning and haulage costing, a zero-based cost model, and an enterprise financial model exported in the FAST and Modano conventions. The reviewer can trace the conclusions back to the engineering. (See The Modern Bankable ITR, Beyond the Spreadsheet and From Block Model to Corporate NPV.)
Why IMC for independent expert work
IMC is a trusted advisor to global majors including Anglo American, Rio Tinto and Glencore, with a deep track record authoring ITRs and supporting IPOs, capital raisings and due diligence for many other companies across commodities and jurisdictions. That combination — tier-1 trust, code compliance and an auditable technical-to-financial chain — is what makes an independent expert opinion from IMC defensible under the most demanding institutional scrutiny. (See The Evolution of the ITR.)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an independent expert report?
An independent expert report is an objective technical (and often economic) opinion on a mining asset or transaction, prepared by a qualified third party for investors, lenders, boards or regulators — for example to support an IPO, capital raising, acquisition or divestment.
Does IMC do independent expert work?
Yes. IMC acts as an independent technical expert across independent expert reports, Independent Technical Reports (ITRs) and technical due diligence, under JORC / NI 43-101 / CRIRSCO standards with an accountable Competent Person / Qualified Person.
What is the difference between an ITR and an independent expert report?
An Independent Technical Report (ITR) is a specific code-compliant document commonly required for listings and project finance; an independent expert report is a broader objective technical opinion used across transactions and disputes. IMC delivers both, on the same auditable technical basis.
Do you do technical due diligence for acquisitions and lenders?
Yes — acquisition due diligence, vendor due diligence and lender technical review, covering resources and reserves, mine planning, costs and the financial model.
