FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Gold mining companies can access equity placements (private or listed), royalty and streaming agreements, bridge loans, project finance debt, and off-take financing. The right structure depends on project stage, resource size, cash flow profile, and whether the company is listed or private.
Yes. Early-stage gold explorers typically access equity financing — private placements with resource-focused investors, family offices, or high-net-worth individuals. Royalty deals are also possible at exploration stage if the project has a strong resource estimate or is in a proven district.
A gold stream is an agreement where an investor provides upfront capital in exchange for the right to purchase a set volume of future gold production at a fixed price — typically 10–30% of spot. Unlike debt, a stream doesn't need to be repaid in cash.
Project finance for gold mines uses the project's future cash flows as the primary repayment source. Lenders take security over the mine, equipment, and off-take contracts. Typical LTV is 50–65% for producing or near-producing assets.
A royalty gives the holder a percentage of revenue or production indefinitely. A stream gives the right to purchase a fixed volume of gold at a fixed price. Royalties are typically simpler; streams are larger and more complex. Both are non-dilutive alternatives to equity.
At minimum: a JORC, NI 43-101, or SAMREC compliant resource estimate, drill results and geological reports, permit status, management credentials, and project title. Production assets also require revenue history and mine plan.
A private equity placement can close in 4–8 weeks. A royalty or streaming deal typically takes 3–6 months. Project finance debt takes 6–18 months including technical due diligence and legal documentation.
Yes. OAKRG works with both listed and unlisted gold companies. For unlisted companies, financing typically comes via private placements with family offices, resource-focused funds, or pre-IPO structures.
OAKRG has connected gold projects in Canada, Australia, West Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America with international capital. Tier 1 mining jurisdictions attract the deepest pools of capital.
An NSR (net smelter return) royalty gives the holder a percentage of the revenue received from the smelter for gold produced, after deducting transportation and refining costs. A 2% NSR on a 100,000 oz/year mine at $2,000/oz generates ~$4M per year for the royalty holder.
