Our Services

All of the Company's contract work centers on valuation issues for the gold mining and minerals industry. Specific areas of strength include:

Acquisition identification, analysis and valuation. Balfour routinely helps clients find acquisition opportunities, compare terms and develop bids. As the world's leading repository of historical acquisition data, the Company maintains a large database on comparable sales and mass appraisal information.

If a client is aware of a competitor bidding for a similar asset, Balfour can develop behavior profiles of their bidding practices. Knowing the competition's bidding practices can help when submitting a best and final offer for a high quality asset.

Market Capitalization Studies provide greater understandings about the value of one's company relative to the entire market and peers. Comparing balance sheets, asset distributions and market sentiment among peer groups can enhance one's market capitalization. Value can then be created by preying on competitors' weaknesses or by enhancing one's strengths.

These same market studies are also effective when searching for acquisition or business opportunities in the gold mining and minerals industry.

Industry Trend Analysis Studies form an important cornerstone to Balfour's business. Through multiple assignments, the company tracks many issues ranging from financing activity, newly announced discoveries, capital and exploration spending and projects in trouble. Another database tracks the birth and death rates of public companies, a key measure of economic health for the industry.

These services are provided on an hourly, daily or lump sum basis.
