Questions
Frequently asked.
Do you provide investment or financial advice?
No. Alana Ventures does not provide financial or investment advice. I coordinate technical-commercial work and make introductions only.
What stage does my project need to be at?
Anything from early exploration to operating, including care and maintenance and tailings or stockpile opportunities. The screening tells us what's realistic.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Submissions are treated as confidential and are never shared with third parties without your explicit agreement.
Do you take equity or success fees?
Structures are agreed case by case and always in writing before any introductions are made.
