Relying on deep foundational knowledge and a wide breadth of experience, Terra Firma Law’s services are tailored to support domestic and international mining operations throughout the entire mining lifecycle. Our informed and practical approach to the industry’s unique needs and challenges enables timely and value driven execution of scope – from early exploration through development, production, mineral processing, refining, smelting and post-closure planning.
Terra Firma Law provides corporate and commercial legal services across the mining value chain, including legal due diligence, the negotiation of specialty mining contracts such as offtake agreements, royalty and streaming agreements, option agreements, impact and benefit agreements, engineering and construction agreements and supply and services agreements. We are also ready to assist clients in advancing Canada’s critical minerals strategies by supporting project structuring, financing and infrastructure development, and the establishment of midstream and downstream processing capacity.
Our experience extends to stakeholder engagement; obtaining and maintaining permits and licenses; and preparing NI 43-101 compliant public filings, including prefeasibility and feasibility studies, technical reports, public disclosure documents and regulatory filings. We are able to help clients navigate growing expectations around decarbonization pathways and responsible sourcing frameworks that increasingly govern critical mineral supply chains.
Strong relationships with trusted and credible colleagues enable seamless delivery of related services, including securing title and surface rights, protecting intellectual property, technology licensing, tax structuring, employment and labour matters and litigation mitigation and response. This integrated approach allows clients to progress projects with efficiency, certainty, and confidence in a rapidly evolving global minerals landscape.
