M&A AND FINANCING DUE DILIGENCE REVIEWS
RPA performs independent technical due diligence reviews in support of mergers and acquisitions and debt and equity financings. Our due diligence reports provide opinions on the technical aspects of the target mining project including the overall project design and performance forecasts as well as specific discussion of key project characteristics and risks. Due diligence reviews examine the project's technical, cost, and environmental and social impact aspects. Overall project performance forecasts are reviewed and compared and contrasted with similar operations.

In this role we work cooperatively with, and in support of, the project sponsor's design and engineering team and provide the project lenders with independent review and opinion on the project as it advances to completion and start-up.

RPA has acted as expert witness in litigation and arbitration related to both commercial and technical aspects of mining and exploration projects, including the valuation of expropriated mineral properties.
SECURITIES REGULATION COMPLIANCE SERVICES
RPA provides Qualified Persons assessments for securities exchange listings, IPOs, and reporting requirements for most mineral commodities. A Qualified Person (or Competent Person, depending on the jurisdiction) is a regulated professional who brings the application of professional standards and responsibility into the technical reports for public disclosure. Typically these assessments are in the form of National Instrument 43-101 Technical Reports under Canadian securities law or Competent Persons/Mineral Expert Reports under UK securities law.
