Debt raise financial modelling and advisory support for a gold mining project in Western Africa

Client background

The Moroccan client was looking to raise senior debt for construction of a gold mine in West Africa. The international Mazars team located in London, Morocco and Senegal was engaged to provide complete financial modelling support and light financial advisory.

Our Role

The key workstreams involved using the latest documentation and mine plan to build and operate a bankable financial model for debt raising purpose as well as providing local tax advice through our Senegal office. A key obstacle of the engagement is that the project stakeholders are located in multiple countries in both Africa and Europe (each with their own areas of focus), however, using Mazars’s international presence, our strong internal cross-border relationships and a high level of collaboration, we are able to support our client and stakeholders through a debt raising process.

Project outcomes

The client and stakeholders were supported throughout the debt raising process.
