Cutfield Freeman & Co. Ltd ("CF&Co") provides advice to companies in the mining and metals processing industries. CF&Co's Directors have experience in the successful closing of transactions in the mining and metal processing industries. This experience reflects careers spent in the mining industry, metals trading, investment banking and the legal profession. CF&Co's advice is independent. The firm is owned by the principals. It is not part of a bigger business and has no wider agenda. CF&Co operates on the premise that the financing challenges facing miners are unique to the industry: volatile commodities; mine specific development and operating risks; challenging regulatory environments; constrained funding sources, both for debt and equity, which vary over time.
