Career Resources
Ok, I have worked in this sector before. A few things to keep in mind.
So a company will look for a particular piece of land and decide if its worth exploring for minerals. They will typically do a PFS (pre-feasibility Study), if the results are positive, then they may do BFS (bankable feasibility Study) or Trial Mining.
Things to take into consideration: Mining is EXPENSIVE. Most companies want to have their tenements near EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE to make it more viable (close to seaports, railways, etc) So your interviewer may ask you, what concerns or risk you need to consider for a mining company.
Common mined minerals are gold, silver, copper, iron ore. I would suggest looking up the traded prices for these minerals on the market.
Lastly, look up on some of the latest deals that your boutique may have done.
Good luck
Mining I-Bank Interview Prep (Originally Posted: 10/16/2012)
Hey Guys,
I have an interview next week for a first year analyst position in a NY boutique mining and metals i-bank. How can I prepare to answer any potential mining and metals questions that come my way?
Find an industry primer and know some of the relevant industry metrics. If you really want to be prepared, know a company or 2 in the space that you 'like'. Chances are slim that they'd grill you on the sector. Just know why it interests you and what some unique valuation techniques are.
Check your pm, good luck.
I believe the M&I website had an interview regarding IB in the metal and mining division. You might want to check that out, probably some good information.
mhurricane, could you pm me as well with mining interview info? Thanks a lot.
