Mining Resources

We invest in the metals the energy transition requires, alongside experienced mining operators and to strict environmental standards.

Copper, cobalt and bauxite form the core of our natural resources exposure. Demand for these metals is structurally driven by electrification, and quality deposits are concentrated in the geographies where we operate.

We do not operate mines ourselves. Our role is to bring capital, financial structuring and governance standards to operators who have the technical competence and the necessary permits.

This activity carries a particular responsibility. Every mining holding is conditional on a closure and rehabilitation plan, a workplace safety framework meeting international standards, and a structured dialogue with neighbouring communities.

What we do

  • Concession holdings

    Qualified minority stakes in mining permits in production or at advanced development stage.

  • Evacuation infrastructure

    Financing of haul roads, conveyors and port facilities essential to monetising deposits.

  • Offtake financing

    Prepayment structures securing production flows and financing working capital requirements.

  • Marketing

    Zug and Hong Kong offices linking our assets to European and East Asian refineries.
