About Us

Who We Are

Merlyn Consulting was conceived as an idea by a group of mining professionals and financiers during discussions throughout the aftermath of the financial crisis. With the reduced access to capital and the fall in commodity prices, the mining industry has been particularly hard hit, and continues to face many challenges in delivering value to shareholders. The Company itself was founded by Dr Toby Strauss in 2015 and is based in Dublin, Ireland.

What We Do

Merlyn’s focus is on helping our clients gain a clearer understanding of the mining and exploration projects in which they are interested. We utilise our broad experience and wide network of contacts in the mining industry to look “beneath the hood” of these projects and to identify the hidden risks and upsides that are so critical in making the correct decisions, whether it be from the perspective of an investor, or from the company management or board member looking for an expert, independent viewpoint.

We can flex our resources to meet your precise needs, but in all cases, we deliver professional, independent reports, which cut-through the technical jargon and are easy to understand.

Who We Work With

We work with clients from both the Investment and the Corporate side of the mining world.

For Investors, we carry out company and project appraisals.

For Board Members of exploration and mining companies we provide independent project reviews.

For Exploration and Mining companies, we offer a suite of geological services as well as project management services and general strategic advice.
