Complementing our oil and gas practice, MKK has from its inception also been intimately involved in all aspects of the hard mining sector, advising clients in the coal, nickel, copper and gold and other hard mining fields. We assist in the establishment and licensing of new mining companies and provide on–going legal advice with respect to all aspects of their operations, including mining rights and land title issues, labor, tax, environmental and other regulatory matters. We also represent mining companies as borrowers as well as banks lending to the mining industry and have extensive experience with secured, project lending in the mining sector.

MKK also advises investors and lenders in a variety of other natural resources sectors, including timber, palm oil, cacao and other plantation products as well as the thermal energy sector.
