Know exactly who leads the company before you invest

In mining, the deal is only as sound as the people running the asset. Before a private equity firm or investor commits to a mining company or project, its leadership team’s track record, relationships and any hidden risk matter as much as the numbers.

Through our partnership with SecureValue, Lincoln Strategic clients can now commission independent integrity due diligence on a target company’s leadership team as part of the investment process.

What it covers

Independent background and integrity checks on the leadership teams of mining companies and projects you’re considering investing in, on joint venture partners, and on other counterparties. The work surfaces the regulatory, reputational and commercial risks you need to weigh, including any indications of fraud, corruption, political exposure, sanctions issues, money laundering or other financial crime, as well as questions over a subject’s commercial credibility, standing or financial position.

How it works

Risk-based and business-enabling. Reports range from open-source red-flag checks to complex, multi-jurisdictional investigations drawing on human-source enquiries and in-country record searches. The aim is to give you the assurance to proceed with confidence.

Also available 

  • Litigation support and asset tracing
  • Financial crime compliance and sanctions screening
  • Corporate governance advisory
  • Security risk and crisis management
