Insuring Technical Credibility In The Future Of Small Mining Projects

The author will present a discussion of the steps which must be taken by the prospective developer of a small mining operation to establish technical credibility when seeking financial backing. Particular emphasis will be given to the differing levels of technical work (and their relative cost) which must be accomplished to supply the information necessary to satisfy potential investor groups, whether they be other mining companies, equity investors, or financial institutions such as venture capital firms or commercial banks.
