Consulting and advisory teams
Faster mining asset screening for consulting and advisory teams
Standardise early-stage mining asset analysis across client projects without rebuilding the same GIS, infrastructure and jurisdiction work for every engagement.
Global Mining Dataset gives consulting, advisory and professional services teams a reusable screening layer across 25,000+ mining assets, helping teams move more quickly from data preparation to client analysis.Teams can search, screen, compare and export mining assets using a consistent framework across projects, commodities and geographies.
The problem
Too much project time is spent preparing the analysis
Mining advisory work often starts with the same underlying questions.
Questions at the start of an engagement
- Which assets should we analyse?
- Where are they located?
- What infrastructure surrounds them?
- What is the water context?
- How does jurisdiction risk compare?
- Which location-based constraints should influence the next stage of work?
Answering those questions repeatedly can create a disproportionate amount of preparation before the higher-value analysis begins.
Build once, apply consistently across engagements
Global Mining Dataset provides a standardised starting point for early-stage mining analysis.
The platform combines a global mining asset universe with pre-computed location-based screening metrics, allowing consulting teams to apply the same first-pass framework across different clients, commodities and geographies.
This reduces the work required to bring each engagement to a comparable analytical starting point.
Apply repeatable screening
Use the same water, infrastructure, jurisdiction and location-based metrics across every project.
Compare large asset sets
Screen portfolios, market universes and longlists with a common asset-level methodology.
Export structured outputs
Move standardised results into spreadsheets, client models, reports and presentation workflows.
Spend more time on interpretation, less on data assembly
Clients pay for the judgement that follows the data preparation: which projects matter, which risks are material and what management should investigate next.
Global Mining Dataset compresses the preparation layer beneath those questions.
Standardising the initial screen allows more of the project budget to support analysis, interpretation and recommendations.
Focus project time on
- Which projects matter?
- Which risks are material?
- What should management investigate next?
- How should a portfolio be prioritised?
Screen the factors that recur across mining engagements
Many mining strategy and advisory projects require an initial understanding of the physical and institutional context around an asset.
Global Mining Dataset provides a consistent first-pass view across several high-signal screening dimensions.
Infrastructure context
Compare mining assets against surrounding infrastructure using a common methodology.
Review proximity and context for:
- Roads
- Rail
- Ports
- Power generation
- Electricity transmission
Quickly compare how connected or isolated dozens or hundreds of assets are and focus detailed infrastructure analysis where it adds value.
Water context
Screen mining locations against consistent basin-level water indicators.
Compare:
- Baseline water stress
- Future water stress
- Broader water availability context
Identify assets where water warrants more detailed investigation during subsequent technical or environmental work.
Jurisdiction exposure
Compare projects using standardised country-level indicators across different geographies and client portfolios.
Review indicators covering:
- Governance
- Political stability
- Regulatory quality
- Institutional effectiveness
- State fragility
Create a common first-pass view of jurisdiction exposure across the full project universe.
Location-based constraints
Surface additional characteristics around mining locations that may influence the direction of further work.
Depending on available data, these can include:
- Nearby population
- Contaminant indicators
- Surrounding mining activity
- Environmental or spatial constraints
- Other location characteristics associated with the asset
Focus deeper analysis and specialist judgement on the asset-level questions most relevant to the engagement.
From project brief to client-ready analysis
Global Mining Dataset supports the early stages of a consulting engagement.
Step 1
Define the asset universe
Start with the client's existing asset list or use the global database to identify relevant projects by commodity, geography, project status and other available fields.
Step 2
Standardise the data
Bring assets from multiple sources into a common structure that can be analysed consistently.
Step 3
Apply the first-pass screen
Review infrastructure, water, jurisdiction and other location-based metrics across the entire project universe.
Step 4
Identify the important differences
Find the assets, regions or constraints that warrant closer investigation and focus effort on the issues most likely to influence the client's decision.
Step 5
Conduct deeper analysis
Apply specialist datasets, technical studies and project-specific research where the initial screen shows they will add value.
Step 6
Export the results
Move structured outputs into project models, client deliverables, presentations and downstream analysis.
Designed for recurring consulting questions
Global Mining Dataset can support questions such as:
Which mining assets should we include in a market landscape?
Search a standardised global asset universe by commodity, geography and development stage to establish an initial project set.
How do the assets in a client's portfolio compare?
Apply the same first-pass water, infrastructure and jurisdiction framework across every asset.
Which projects should we investigate in more detail?
Use consistent screening indicators to identify where specialist research is most likely to add value.
Where are the infrastructure constraints across a project universe?
Compare road, rail, port, generation and transmission context across multiple assets at once.
Which jurisdictions or regions warrant closer review?
Combine asset location with governance, stability and fragility indicators to identify areas requiring deeper country analysis.
Can we screen a confidential client asset list?
Enterprise users can analyse private locations against the same framework used for the wider global mining asset universe.
Support market studies and strategic reviews
Consulting engagements often require analysis beyond a single asset.
A team analysing a commodity can begin with the broader global asset universe and apply the same location-based screening framework across the resulting market landscape.
This gives the project team a consistent analytical baseline before more specialised research is introduced.
Use the platform across
- Commodity market landscapes
- Regional mining opportunity assessments
- Portfolio reviews
- Acquisition target screens
- Infrastructure benchmarking
- Critical mineral studies
- Jurisdiction comparisons
- Project prioritisation exercises
Create consistency across teams and projects
Different analysts may use different data sources, assumptions or screening approaches depending on the project.
Global Mining Dataset provides a common first-pass framework that is easier to reproduce, review and reuse across engagements.
Teams can add client-specific assumptions and specialist methodologies to a consistent, reusable baseline.
Apply a common baseline across
- Project teams
- Commodities
- Client engagements
- Regions
- Asset portfolios
Increase the number of assets a project team can screen
Manual screening creates a practical limit on the size of an asset universe.
Pre-computed screening allows a project team to begin with a broader set of opportunities, apply consistent first-pass metrics across the full universe and concentrate detailed research on the assets that remain relevant.
This makes broader and more systematic mining analysis commercially practical.
Particularly useful for
- Market scans
- Longlist development
- Acquisition screens
- Portfolio benchmarking
- Commodity strategy work
Focus specialist analysis where it adds the most value
Detailed mining advisory work requires judgement, specialist expertise and project-specific analysis.
Global Mining Dataset handles the repeatable preparation layer that precedes that work, giving specialists a standardised first-pass screen across every asset.
Teams can then direct specialist time toward the locations and questions that warrant deeper investigation.
