HSF offers free resources for Aussie miners
Australian mining firms can now access a free set of resources to help with the implementation of early-stage projects.
The online portal, Extract, has been created by
Herbert Smith Freehills and aims to help the junior mining through the current “tough period in the commodity cycle.”
Small to mid-cap miners can access legal documents such as standard form contracts, confidentiality agreements and term sheets tailored to the sector, together with a library of information sheets to assist with the understanding of key issues.
