JV Partners
Miranda Gold Corp. has established a reputation as a high-quality project generator attracting a variety of mining companies to help advance the exploration on our properties. By successfully leveraging our technical expertise into joint venture partnerships we lower the risk of early stage exploration and preserve shareholder value.
Joint venture partners are responsible for funding all exploration on those projects under agreement in exchange for a majority interest in the property. The Company's Joint Venture model is unique in that they require their partners to continue spending money until a feasibility study is complete, otherwise forfeiting their interest in the project. This protects the Company from a partner deciding to shelve the project due to shifted priorities or lack of financing.
