On November 14, the Minex Mining Club held a panel discussion on financing major projects after 2022.

• Andrey Melnikov (Russian Titan),

• Igor Svintitsky (OERN),

• Ekaterina Serebryannikova (VEB.

RF),

• Egor Kuleshov (CMT Consulting),

• Roman Shchetinsky (GV Gold),

• Denis Burdin (GKZ, CCR).

The participants noted that project financing requires careful project preparation and audit reports from technical, financial, insurance consultants and lawyers. And there are no innovations in this part. Although the market has been heavily cleared of foreign participants. And in fact, there are only 2 mining and geological consulting companies left in the Russian market, and they had to localize themselves in the Russian Federation to continue their activities. For example, the team of the Russian office of SRK now works under the CMT Consulting brand and only with Russian and CIS experts.

Nevertheless, membership in international professional organizations remains important, which confirm the quality and integrity of the consultant. Although participation in them is now difficult. And the current conditions provide good opportunities for the development of the NAEN national reporting code and the OERN professional organization (part of CRIRSCO).
