The mining industry is a complex and dynamic sector, with companies facing a range of unique challenges and opportunities. 

RSM Australia understands these challenges and opportunities and has extensive experience in working with clients in the mining sector. 

We are well-versed in the various corporate regulations and compliance requirements that mining companies must adhere to. Our global network ensures that we can provide a global, integrated approach to help you succeed regardless of where in the world you operate.

Our team works extensively with explorers and companies in development or production;  and companies that provide mining services, offering services ranging from external audits to risk governance, transaction support, preparing for an IPO, tax compliance and incentives structuring, ESG and Sustainability,  data analytics and much more.

Our services include 

  • advice on working capital and tax incentives
  • negotiating with lenders, farm-in/farm-out or joint venture arrangements
  • structuring transactions to boost investor appeal. 

We also provide funding readiness support: preparing financial and risk models (“life of mine” modelling), identifying grant opportunities, advising on corporate governance, and ensuring clarity around tax, ESG and investor expectations.
