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.
