Mining Equipment Technology & Services

Case overview

HGG advised a leading METS company on designing and implementing an asset protection structure for its proprietary water management technology. The innovation improves tailings management, helping major mining companies in Chile reduce the scale and impact of tailings dams. Cross-border operations between Chile and Australia required a robust structure to safeguard the technology and strengthen the company’s position in the mining services sector.

Firm´s role

HGG developed a comprehensive asset protection strategy tailored to a highly regulated industry, including intercompany pledges, guarantees, and loan agreements. Our approach ensured compliance with obligations while securing the company’s core technology and operations against future risks.

Benefits

The company protected its technology and capital across jurisdictions, complied with complex mining contracts, and strengthened its resilience, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner in the global METS sector.

We’ve been working closely with Harris Gómez from the Harris Gómez Group for about 2 years or so now. Harris was instrumental in ensuring that our purchase of a substantial Chilean resource asset went with out too many hitches. A complex deal; made even more difficult due to the marked differences in the Chilean and Australian legal jurisdictions not to mention the huge cultural divide. Harris’s unique blend of Australian and Chilean knowledge saved us time, energy and in the long run, money. Since taking possession of the project, Harris’s Team has smoothed the way for our integration into the Chilean business world and for this we are grateful. 2006 “National Entrepreneur of the Year” 2009 ANZ “Private Company of the Year” 2007 BRW “#1 Fastest Growing of the Year” 2008 Anthill’s “Coolest Company of theYear”.
