Listing and raising on the ASX
More mining companies list here than anywhere else. We know how it is done.
Overview
The ASX is the world's deepest market for mining and exploration companies. For explorers and developers it is the fastest route to capital, and it comes with obligations that start on day one and don't stop.
We advise issuers and underwriters across the full capital markets cycle, from a first listing through to the raising that funds construction and the bid that arrives afterwards.
What we do
Coming to market
IPOs and compliance listings, backdoor listings and reverse takeovers, prospectus and disclosure documents, ASX and ASIC engagement, and pre-IPO structuring and seed capital.
Raising again
Placements, entitlement offers, share purchase plans, convertible notes and structured equity, and underwriting and lead manager arrangements.
Staying listed
Continuous disclosure, JORC and reporting obligations, board and governance advice, shareholder meetings and resolutions, and responding to ASX queries.
Defending
Takeover response and defence, substantial holder and creep analysis, and shareholder activism.
Listing offshore
Dual listings and secondary listings, including on NASDAQ and the TSX, for Australian companies seeking offshore capital, and ASX listings for offshore companies seeking Australian capital.
For underwriters and lead managers
We act on both sides of the market. For investment banks and brokers we advise on underwriting and lead manager agreements, due diligence and verification process, and disclosure risk, and we run process to the timetable rather than around it.
