Unique Insights for
High-Risk Extractive Sectors
Clarity before commitment.
Substrata Global is a due diligence practice serving investors in complex and high-risk markets. We help our clients understand the people, companies, and structures behind a deal before capital is committed — particularly in the extractive sectors, and in the jurisdictions where reliable information is hardest to obtain.
Our promise.
Investment and transaction due diligence.
Independent assessment of a supply chain actor, partner or counterparty ahead of an investment, joint venture, or acquisition — covering ownership and control, ESG checks, source of wealth and funds, financial standing, and the reputational and integrity risks that conventional checks miss.
Enhanced and integrity due diligence. Deeper inquiry where the stakes demand it: beneficial ownership and corporate networks, exposure to sanctions and politically exposed persons, litigation and regulatory history, or conflicts of interest.
Sector and jurisdiction risk. Assessment of the political, regulatory, environmental and security conditions surrounding an asset — with particular focus on the extractive industries and the markets in which they operate.
Asset tracing and dispute support. Identifying and verifying assets across borders to support recovery, litigation, and contentious matters.
Sectors and markets
Our focus is the extractive industries — mining, oil and gas, and the infrastructure and supply chains around them — where ownership is often complex, political exposure is high, and the cost of a misjudged partner or supplier is severe.
We operate internationally, including in frontier, emerging, and high-risk jurisdictions where standard sources are limited and local knowledge is decisive.
Our team members have worked on complex investigations in some of the toughest environments, covering Southern and West Africa, South East Asia and Latin America.
Our approach
Confidentiality is the default in everything we do.
We have no stake in your decision beyond getting it right.
We separate the verified from the alleged, weigh our sources honestly, and are clear about the limits of what we can stand behind.
Every engagement is tailored around a specific decision and the question you need answered.
Substrata Global works with investors, funds, advisers, and their counsel on a confidential basis.
