Explorers - Mineral Exploration Insurance Facility
At Gallagher, we understand the risks and complexities of mineral exploration. Besides the challenges of raising funds and developing an ore body, the burden placed on directors and officers to ensure the business is adequately protected is immense. Getting any part of running a mineral exploration company wrong can have catastrophic consequences, and may put directors’ and officers’ personal assets at risk.
That is why, in 2006, we launched the Mineral Exploration Insurance Facility (MEIF). The MEIF is a ground breaking insurance solution designed specifically to meet the ever-evolving and highly technical risks of exploration, reporting and compliance that also protects the assets of the business and directors and officers alike. Furthermore, the facility has been developed using financially secure, market leading insurers to offer competitive pricing without compromising on cover, claims service or flexibility. The MEIF is the only insurance solution proudly endorsed by AMEC.
Core products are:
- Directors & Officers Liability (flagship product)
- Commercial Motor
- Corporate Travel
- Expatriates
- Personal Accident
- Workers Compensation
- Property
- Marine Transit (including mineral samples)
- Public & Products Liability
