Private Natural Resource Case Study Advice

3-hour offline PE case in Natural Resources (build rec + short deck). As a fresh grad without much case experience but super excited since this is a top, ideal firm for me should I prioritize an asset-level DCF/NAV or a simplified LBO for sponsor returns?
What’s the expected baseline in NR cases?
How would you split time (model vs slides) in 3 hours?

Appreciate any guidance, thanks in advance!

“Javier Barrena provided really detailed walkthrough on how he approached a similar tasking before, and although I entered the session not knowing how to approach this case study at all, I have a much clearer picture now. This session was extremely effective, and it's fortunate that he had the availability to do this despite my case study task coming in at a very last minute.”

“Jorge was very practical and generous with his time. He gave me a clear action plan: tighten my elevator pitch to under 2 min, do a weekly modelling case study, and prep technicals, market questions and behaviourals. His networking advice (always ask each contact for 1-2 more names, track fund closes to spot hiring windows, a list of London infra headhunters) was very actionable. He also referred me internally to Nuveen within a week. Only point to improve: I’m still waiting for his feedback on the case studies I sent.”
