Mining & Minerals


Mining and Mineral Due Diligence
Ammonite Resources associates have extensive global experience in the geotechnical and economic due diligence review of precious, ferrous and non-ferrous, coal and industrial mineral deposits, from early stage exploration through mine development, and product marketing.

Mineral Interest Appraisals
Ammonite advises donors and institutional recipients of mineral interests on their fair market value.

Natural Resource Litigation
Ammonite has a very active natural resource litigation advisory practice, serving as “behind-the-scenes” investigators and advisors to counsel, and as expert witnesses when appropriate. We have provided analysis and interpretation of technical and economic facts of matters in litigation, and the representations made by the litigants about these facts. We have investigated alleged securities fraud, as well as violations of mining license operational, environmental and social contract regulations. Ammonite also supplies special expertise for “after-the-fact” review in disciplines such as mineral geostatistics, mining engineering, and mining environmental issues. We undertake only a few such engagements at a time, thereby enabling us to deploy senior expertise in a timely manner for our client’s requirements.

Expert Witness
We have served as expert witnesses in major securities and tax litigation matters in the United States and Canada. Clients in our litigation practice have included the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Justice Department.
