Investment solutions
Four instruments through which we deploy capital into mining and other commercially viable sectors. Each is governed by the same underwriting discipline and documentation standards.
Equity Participations
Direct stakes in mining and resource ventures
Minority or joint-venture equity positions in gold, diamond, base-metal and related resource projects, released in stages as technical and commercial milestones are verified.
Collateral Transfers
Transferable collateral to support third-party credit lines
Formal assignment of collateral to regulated receiving institutions for a fixed term, enabling clients to draw facilities from their own banking relationships under documented terms.
Gold Secured Lending
Liquidity against allocated gold bullion
Facilities advanced against allocated, assayed gold held in approved custody, with conservative advance rates and margin mechanics agreed before drawdown.
Silver Secured Lending
Working capital against allocated silver stock
Facilities secured on allocated silver bars, grain or refined industrial product, structured for producers, refiners and industrial buyers with verified custody and provenance.
How we assess every facility
The same standards apply whether the position is equity, collateral or a secured metals facility.
- 01
Diligence precedes terms
No facility is discussed in detail until the sponsor, the asset and the proposed use of funds have been documented to our satisfaction.
- 02
Committee sign-off
Every approval passes through a written investment committee process. No single individual can authorise a commitment alone.
- 03
Phased release
Capital moves in tranches tied to agreed milestones and collateral arrangements, rather than as one upfront payment.
- 04
Ongoing supervision
Positions are tracked and covenants tested for the entire term of the engagement, not merely at closing.
Conditions precedent
Each facility is subject to KYC and customer due diligence, sanctions screening, and the approval of business plans, financial projections and supporting documentation submitted to our offices. No commitment arises until all required approvals have been obtained and definitive transaction documentation has been executed.
