Goodmans Mining Group advises companies on transactions, from venture capital financing and initial public offerings to international acquisitions and joint ventures. With over 25 years’ experience supporting clients in the mining industry, we have thoughtfully developed the cross-functional legal expertise necessary to support the operations and growth of our mining clients internationally.  

Our lawyers are experts in the complex commercial agreements that underpin mining revenue streams. We were engaged in the very first streaming arrangement in Canada and have maintained focus and leadership in this area for more than 15 years. 

Clients choose us when they want to establish joint ventures, negotiate mineral prospecting and exploration agreements, acquire and sell oil and gas interests and arrange all levels of equity and debt financing activities. We expertly advise in connection with earn-in, option, royalty and other exploration-stage agreements, risk mitigation, tax efficiencies, and we assist clients to coordinate their claim, permit and license management in a variety of jurisdictions around the world.  

Our lawyers are deeply familiar with all aspects of technical reporting under Canada’s NI 43-101, Australia’s Joint Ore Reserves Committee code and mineral laws of international jurisdictions. 

Recognized as among the best in Canada by numerous leading industry publications, our lawyers pride themselves in providing full development support on resource-based matters.
