ABOUT US

The Board, which has over 100 years ofwith significant experience in mining and natural resources development, financing and corporate management, aims to utilise this experience knowledge in executing its strategy and deliver shareholder value. The focus is on “strategic metals” as defined by the US and EU with additional polymetallic and gold projects also being considered. The primary geographic is Southern Africa and the Americas although individual projects will be assessed on their own merits.

The Board believes there is significant opportunity in the high value critical metal space as demand increases and supply constraints are accentuated. Critical metals demand is being driven by both the traditional sectors, including high tech manufacturing and defence, as well as fast growing developing markets including wind turbines, electric vehicles, next generation batteries, solar cells and energy efficient lighting.

Through its extensive contact base, the Company is actively evaluating opportunities in commodities including tantalum, niobium, antimony, copper, cobalt and rare earth elements.
