Live Webinar | Mining Arbitrations: Navigating Valuation and Corruption Risks
Mining disputes are on the rise as governments seek to renegotiate or revoke concessions, and political instability continues to impact operations in many key mining regions. International arbitration is often the forum for resolution, and success in these high-stakes proceedings may very well boil down to two things: credible valuation and the ability to navigate allegations of corruption.
This webinar brings together a forensic accountant, a mine finance advisor and expert witness, and a specialist in risk management in Africa. Neil Keenan (FRA), George Rogers (Rockface Capital) and Tara O’Connor (Africa Risk Consulting) unpack how complex mining projects should be analysed, presented, and defended. From the nuances of modelling to the identification of red flags, our panel will highlight specialist issues and approaches that build the strongest positions in front of arbitration tribunals.
What We Will Discuss
- Recent trends in mining disputes, including expropriation, revocation of rights, and political interference
- How to approach valuation at each development stage of a mining project, and preferred methods
- Incorporating project risk, country risk, and macroeconomic factors into a credible valuation
- Red flags for bribery and corruption in mining - and how experts and counsel can work together to present findings clearly and persuasively
- Why mining-specific expertise is essential in arbitration, and how the wrong expert can do more harm than good
