FAQs
Some of the information we may request during assessment includes:
- Financial model and business case
- Environmental and technical reports
- Export content breakdown and projections (if relevant)
- Risk and compliance information
- Community Benefit considerations where applicable
Depending on your project, we may request environmental and social impact assessments, technical reports (from independent engineers), and risk assessments.
If applicable, we’ll ask for an export content breakdown – showing which goods, services or components are destined for international markets.
Yes. For critical minerals or other resource projects, a JORC reserves report and financial model audit may also be required.
We’ll need standard Know Your Customer (KYC) details, and may also assess project governance and procurement processes.
For projects aligned with the Future Made in Australia initiative, we may ask you to demonstrate how your project aligns with the Government’s Community Benefit Principles.
