A private equity firm contacted TDI to evaluate the compliance, reputational, and political risks associated with the acquisition of a mine. The mine was located in Western Australia and had a related commodities trading operation. TDI’s due diligence efforts included evaluating critical supply chain and intermediary relationships for the mining operations, as well as assessing the know-your-customer (KYC) risks associated with mineral customers and individual trading counterparties.  

We provided a fully comprehensive risk assessment to the private equity firm while also providing guidance relative to emerging environmental regulatory changes that would impact the Australian mining sector and potential effects on Asia-Pacific trade.
