Mining Finance

Commercial finance for mining operators and service businesses.

We structure tailored finance for mining and resources—from heavy equipment and contract mobilisation to bonding and working capital.

Mining finance solutions

Mining businesses can require multiple facilities working together rather than a single source of finance.

Potential requirements may include:

Asset & Equipment Finance

Funding for plant, machinery, vehicles and other productive mining assets.

Working Capital

Liquidity to support mobilisation, payroll, suppliers and contract delivery.

Surety Bonds & Bank Guarantees

Support for tender, performance and other contractual obligations.

Business Acquisition Funding

Finance for acquisitions, ownership changes or strategic expansion.

Debt Advisory

Review and restructuring of existing commercial finance arrangements.

Mining Equipment Finance

Mining operators and contractors often need to invest in equipment before the full revenue benefit is realised.

Finance may be considered for:

Earthmoving equipment
Excavators
Loaders
Haulage equipment
Trucks and trailers
Support vehicles
Processing equipment
Specialist plant
Site equipment

The structure can depend on asset type, age, value, supplier, expected utilisation, contract position and wider business cash flow.

Contract and Project Funding

Winning a contract can increase cash requirements before it increases cash receipts.

Mobilisation, wages, fuel, accommodation, equipment, subcontractors and other operating expenses may need to be funded before progress claims or debtor receipts are collected.

Working capital finance may help bridge appropriate timing gaps where the underlying contract and business cash flow support the structure.

Bonding or guarantee requirements may also need to be considered alongside working capital and existing banking capacity.

Risk and Lender Consultations

Mining finance can involve factors that require more detailed lender assessment.

These may include contract duration, customer concentration, commodity exposure, equipment values, project pipeline, management experience, existing debt and mobilisation requirements.

Winterfold's role is to understand those factors before the requirement is taken to market and help present the finance case with clear commercial context.

The objective is not simply to find funding, but to identify lender options that are appropriate for the business, transaction and wider debt position.
