Juniors – Financing Basics Financing available for those that have the basics Equipment finance continues to be a major request
Juniors vs. Producers • Juniors • Need capacity • Tighter controls • Collateral requirements • Ongoing surveillance • Shorter tenure • Higher rates • Focus on the Project • Producers • Need Maximum flexibility • More options – suite of products • Less equity / security • Less oversight • Variable tenures • Lower rates • Focus on History WHY- it is all about the risks!!!
Underground - word of caution • Equipment finance is available • Shorter terms (18-48 months) • Primarily Loans • Possibly higher down payment / security deposits • Highly spec’d equipment – diminished remarketing value • Move toward automation • Leasing generally available only to majors What goes down, does not necessarily come back up = lender conundrum
World Economic Growth The world still leans on the U.S. and China for direction and growth
