Strategic Finance Advisory for Critical Minerals and Battery Metals
Bridging the gap between resource-rich projects and global institutional capital.
Demand for copper, cobalt, lithium, manganese, and nickel continues to rise, but many projects still miss financing due to weak file quality and incomplete transaction controls. We structure the mandate to match how institutional credit teams actually review risk.

Team Background and Delivery Model
Our mandate team has direct background in commodity finance, structured trade flows, and private credit execution for resource-linked transactions. Team identities are kept confidential for client privacy and mandate security, while execution standards remain fully transparent.
We run a controlled outsourcing model to keep specialist capability available at each stage. Under central FG Capital Advisors oversight, we coordinate external legal counsel, technical reviewers, due diligence partners, and regulated market participants where applicable.
| Capability Area | Internal Oversight | Specialist Execution |
|---|---|---|
| Commodity Finance Structuring | Facility logic, repayment path, and risk allocation design. | Jurisdiction-specific input for enforceability and security planning. |
| Lender-Grade File Build | Standardized submission format and quality control. | External counsel and technical inputs integrated into the pack. |
| Credit Process Management | Q&A control, lender sequencing, and decision tracking. | Third-party diligence streams coordinated to deadline. |
| Regulated Channels | Mandate governance and process supervision. | Securities transactions, where applicable, through GT Securities, Inc., a FINRA and SIPC member. |
Bankability Gap and Practical Fixes
| Common Gap | Why Deals Stall | How We Address It |
|---|---|---|
| Fragmented file quality | Credit teams cannot reconcile assumptions, contracts, and risk controls. | Single-source lender pack with consistent evidence and structure. |
| Weak governance trail | Decision makers cannot verify process discipline. | Documented review path and controlled data room management. |
| Unclear risk allocation | Repayment and downside treatment are not explicit. | Defined repayment logic, covenants, and monitoring framework. |
| Execution friction | Too many advisors with no coordination. | Central mandate control with outsourced specialists managed to one plan. |
