M&A & Transaction Advisory
Who should own the asset — and on what terms? ABM originates, manages and closes mining transactions across Africa, combining the technical judgment to price risk with the process discipline to reach signature.
What we do
What we do
- Origination and screening of acquisition and divestment opportunities
- Buy-side and sell-side process management — teasers, data rooms, bid coordination
- Technical due diligence for acquirers, investors and lenders
- Transaction structuring input and negotiation support through closing
- Reports and memoranda to investors
Approach
How we work
Mining deals in Africa fail on technical surprises and cross-cultural friction more than on price. ABM manages both: engineer-led due diligence, and transaction facilitation between international and regional counterparties — in English and French.
