OUR IMPACT
Examples
Wherever CONNEX works, our mission is to empower governments to negotiate better contracts. Below are just a couple of examples of our supported projects.
Philippines
In the Philippines, CONNEX assisted the Department of Finance in the tendering of a mining asset. CONNEX’s technical, financial and legal advice to the government has laid the groundwork for a successful tender and has, more importantly, provided a template for other mining assets.

Senegal
In Senegal, CONNEX supported the government in negotiating two key gold mining contracts—one integrating two existing projects and another expanding a mine following new discoveries. Through legal, financial, and geological expertise, CONNEX strengthened the government’s bargaining position, securing financial compensation and avoiding costly arbitration.

Colombia
In Colombia, CONNEX provided geological, environmental and mining expertise to the provincial government of Antioquia in the evaluation around the licensing of a large-scale copper-gold mine. The support led to better decision making regarding potential renewable energy sources to operate the mine, as well as how to engage with surrounding communities. It also resulted in the government requesting missing environmental information from the company.

Argentina
CONNEX provided a team of experts to assist the Catamarca government to prepare for mine closure negotiations with an investor, specifically financial guarantees once the mine was closed. Not only successful on a regional level, it led to a national discussion, paving the way for the introduction of national legislation in mine closure.
