Advisory & Structuring

Exploration Mandate Design and Transaction Structuring

SiliconAssets provides advisory and structuring services for early-stage critical mineral exploration programs through the design of SPV architectures, exploration mandates, and governance frameworks. The firm defines program objectives, allocates responsibilities across partners, and establishes the oversight procedures required for disciplined execution.

Advisory work begins with the development of the exploration mandate, including geographic scope, regulatory considerations, technical requirements, and partner roles. SiliconAssets structures each SPV to align participation by high-performance explorers, licensed mining companies, and qualified investors through clearly defined earn-in terms, NSR allocations, decision rights, and budget sequencing. This ensures that each participant operates within an integrated and coherent program design.

The firm coordinates alignment between technical contributors and licensed mining companies by setting data standards, workflow expectations, and reporting protocols across AI-driven target generation, geophysics, mapping, and scout drilling. SiliconAssets also establishes the processes for milestone reviews, technical validation, and risk assessments, ensuring that the SPV maintains institutional governance throughout the early stages of exploration. These controls allow external partners to execute their functions within a system that supports consistent evaluation and transparent decision-making.

Investor engagement is supported through organized information delivery, documentation of program structures, and coordinated review cycles. SiliconAssets maintains a clear separation between advisory responsibilities and the technical execution performed by external partners, ensuring that programs function with rigor, accountability, and predictable oversight.

This structuring approach enables exploration programs to operate effectively across diverse jurisdictions where regulatory environments, operational capacity, and government priorities vary. By applying a standardized governance framework, SiliconAssets helps ensure that early-stage exploration proceeds with defined controls, consistent reporting, and institutional-grade program management.
