Who we are
Kent Consulting is a boutique, privately owned consultancy specialising in the global mineral and resource sector. We focus on identifying, evaluating, and facilitating high-calibre mining and resource projects through a disciplined and strategic approach. Our core strength lies in our ability to connect quality opportunities with aligned investment and development partners, based on decades of industry experience and deep-rooted professional networks.
With over 25 years of established commercial relationships, Kent Consulting operates through an international network of trusted professionals across the mining, exploration, corporate finance, and investment sectors. This network enables us to access and source a broad range of mineral projects — both private and publicly listed — across commodities such as gold, silver, copper, zinc, rare earth elements (REE), uranium, graphite, and other critical minerals.
Our project portfolio spans the full development spectrum, from grassroots and early-stage exploration to advanced exploration with defined resources (JORC, NI 43-101-compliant), and extends to near-term production assets. Our project locations include Australia, North and South America, Canada, Africa, Europe, and Asia.
​
What distinguishes Kent Consulting is our meticulous due diligence process and commitment to quality. Each opportunity we represent undergoes a thorough technical, legal, and commercial assessment. We also carefully evaluate the integrity, track record, and motivations of project owners and vendors. This ensures that only investment-ready and strategically sound projects are introduced to our investor network, saving them considerable time, effort,
and capital.
We act as a strategic intermediary, working closely with both vendors and acquirers to ensure alignment of interests and the successful execution of transactions. Our role extends beyond introductions — we facilitate clear communication, manage expectations, and help navigate the complexities of deal structuring and due diligence.
Kent Consulting’s business is built on trust, confidentiality and performance. Our client base has grown organically through word-of-mouth referrals, a testament to our reputation for professionalism, impartiality and transparency — qualities that are fundamental to sustained success in the mining and investment industries.
Our investor network includes institutional funds, family offices, high-net-worth individuals, and specialist brokers. The Kent Consulting leadership team has a proven track record in securing capital and facilitating strategic partnerships for mining ventures around the world.
We serve as gatekeepers for our investment partners, reviewing and filtering opportunities to ensure that only high-quality, relevant projects are presented. We do not entertain unsolicited submissions; instead, we rely exclusively on introductions through our established global partners and network.
If you are a project vendor seeking a credible and professional advisor to represent your asset, or an investor or acquirer seeking access to rigorously vetted, high-quality mining opportunities, we welcome the opportunity to speak with you.
