Just what it says, what are the best IBs for work having to do with either private defense contractors or mining companies? These have long been personal interests of mine, seeing as how I am a national guardsman who grew up around mining, and would love to be a part of action (IB-related) within these industries.

I know HLHZ in DC has great deal flow in that industry. Honestly, you're best bet is to go on Bloomberg and see which banks are the most active in that space.
What banks do the most deals YTD, YoY, past 3 years, etc..
Awesome thanks. I've never heard of HLHZ, are they middle market or boutique?
Houlihan Lokey is a top notch MM bank. Some of their groups (e.g. RX) are some of the top on the street. I know their Aerospace & Defense is in D.C.
Not a bad place to be. I know couple analysts that transitioned to MM PE.
As someone on the corp dev side, I've been very impressed with HL.

Have you had a lot of encounters with different IBs?
I just left the mining industry. I enjoyed it. Its an ultra masculine industry where they play with big toys and the people in operations are some of the toughest folks you'll meet (I worked for an underground mining company).
It's not the best place to work if you're liberal to say the least.
Haha that's true, it's filled with great guys. What was your role in the industry and what kind of materials were you mining?
Coal. I was basically a mine controller/finance manager for a good while.
BMO's Metals & Mining group is arguably one of the best, if not the best player in the global mining industry
I would confirm that while specifying they are arguably the best, and most certainly one of the best.
BMO is top name in mining, at least in Canada MacCap would also be good
At BBs, most if not all of the industries you mentioned are generally rolled up in to the Industrials coverage group. Generally speaking, Toronto is where you go to find good mining groups.
On a side note how much deal flow is their within these respective sectors? I haven't heard much regarding mining and aerospace & defense but hear industrial is booming.
BMO Metals & Mining; hope you're not a fan of Sundays off. Great group.
Definitely the toughest team in Canada to work on.
There's a difference between primo work/life balance, and hopping headfirst into the fiery depths of hell.
That team breaks people, known for being one of the best groups in mining in terms of deal flow, but probably the worst culture of any IB group in Canada (not exaggerating). I can't go into detail without revealing myself or anybody else, but I know a number of analysts quit after less than a year, and generally describe working in that team as the worst experience of their lives.
