We source and structure capital for mining operations, quarrying projects and resource extraction ventures across Australia, Africa and Southeast Asia. Foundation provides project finance, royalty-based structures and offtake-backed lending to junior and mid-tier miners where conventional bank financing is unavailable or insufficient. Our resources finance capability is built on relationships with commodity offtakers, streaming companies and specialist resource lenders.
Project Finance Structures
Foundation structures project finance for resource extraction operations using a combination of senior debt, royalty streams, offtake-backed credit facilities and equity co-investment. Our structures are designed to minimise dilution for sponsors while providing lenders with adequate security and repayment mechanisms linked to production.
Royalty & Streaming
We originate royalty and metal streaming arrangements for mining projects requiring upfront capital without conventional debt or equity. These structures provide investors with a revenue-linked return and give miners non-dilutive, covenant-light capital suited to the risk profile of extraction projects at various stages of development.
Offtake Arrangements
Foundation assists mining clients in negotiating and documenting offtake agreements with qualified commodity purchasers. A confirmed offtake arrangement significantly enhances a project's ability to attract financing, and we leverage our commodity trading relationships to connect producers with credible international buyers.
