1. SUBJECT

 

SIREXE INVEST is a networking platform connecting project developers, investors, and strategic partners operating in the mining, oil, gas, energy, and related sectors.

Its objective includes identifying, analysing, qualifying and presenting projects with development and financing potential to investors.

 

 

2. NATURE OF THE DEVICE AND LEGAL WARNING

 

SIREXE INVEST intervenes exclusively as a platform for presenting, qualifying and connecting project promoters, investors and potential partners.

The publication, presentation, qualification or integration of a project into the Data Room of SIREXE INVEST does not constitute either a call for tenders, a public procurement procedure, an award of a contract, an authorization to enter into a contract, or a contractual or financial commitment on the part of the project promoter, SIREXE INVEST or any other party.

The expression of interest by an investor or his or her connection with a project promoter does not constitute a valid basis for awarding a contract, final selection of a partner or commitment to conclude a transaction.

For projects carried out by public bodies, public enterprises, companies under the tutelage of the State or, more generally, by any entity subject to public procurement rules, any operation that may result from a connection made within the framework of SIREXE INVEST remains subject to the procedures, authorizations, controls and legal and regulatory provisions applicable, in particular those relating to public procurement and public contracting.

It is up to each project promoter concerned to ensure, prior to any contractual commitment, that the procedures and authorizations applicable to them are respected.

– transmit the requested documents within the specified deadlines; ;
– have the necessary rights and permissions for the proposed project; ;

Meeting the minimum criteria allows the project to proceed to the analysis and qualification phase. It guarantees neither its final qualification, nor its inclusion in the Data Room, nor its presentation to investors, nor the securing of funding.

 

 

5. SELECTION AND QUALIFICATION PROCESS

 

The projects submitted under SIREXE INVEST undergo a progressive process organized into three stages.

a. Submission and pre-eligibility

The holder submits the initial deposit for their project on the platform. A pre-eligibility check is carried out to verify that the project meets the minimum criteria defined by SIREXE INVEST.

Analysis and qualification

Any project declared pre-admissible is subject to a thorough analysis and a technical and financial evaluation.

At the end of this stage, the holder is informed of the qualification or non-qualification of his project. In the event of non-qualification, he receives a reasoned notification presenting the main conclusions of the evaluation.

c. Integration into the Data Room and presentation

After confirmation of its technical and financial qualification, the project can be integrated into the Data Room of SIREXE INVEST and presented to the targeted investors, in accordance with the procedures, the confidentiality rules and the schedule of the device.

No payment is required for this integration or this presentation.

For projects submitted under public procurement rules, qualification, integration into the Data Room, presentation to investors or the expression of interest by an investor in no way exempts the party from compliance with the legal and regulatory procedures applicable to the execution of the relevant transaction.

 

 

6. FREE PARTICIPATION AND ACCESS CONDITIONS

 

6.1. Project leaders

 

The registration, the initial submission of the project, the pre-eligibility review, the analysis, the qualification, the preparation of the presentation, the possible integration into the Data Room and the organized networking within the framework of SIREXE INVEST are subject to no participation fees charged to the project promoter.

Access to these stages depends on the compliance with the selection criteria, the quality and maturity of the project, as well as the procedures of the scheme.

The qualification of a project does not guarantee that an investor will express interest or that financing will be obtained.

The registration and participation of investors in SIREXE INVEST are free of any participation fees.

Access to the Data Room is opened after the investor profile has been analyzed and qualified, particularly with regard to the appropriateness of their investment criteria and compliance with confidentiality rules.

The qualification of an investor does not confer on him/her an automatic right of access to all documents. Access to information and projects remains subject to the authorisations granted under the framework and, for confidential documents, to the acceptance or prior signature of a confidentiality agreement.
