Investment Approach
- Focus on mining projects with sustainable competitive advantages, proximity to end markets, and scalable capacity
- An optimal mix of direct investment, strategic partnerships, and project-based financing to accelerate value creation
Objectives
- Securing raw material supply for the steel value chain
- Creating sustainable shareholder value through attractive returns on investment
- Technology transfer and productivity enhancement in mines and processing plants
- Improving safety, environmental, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance indicators
Priority Areas
- Exploration zones with confirmed mineralization evidence
- Mines ready for development with fast-track commissioning potential
- Concentrate and pellet processing plants with capacity expansion capability
- Critical infrastructure including water, power, roads, and logistics
Project Selection and Evaluation Process
01
Preliminary technical, economic, legal, and environmental assessment
02
Feasibility studies and scenario-based financial modeling
03
Assessment of exploration, operational, market, and governance risks
04
Development of contract structure, corporate governance framework, and delivery KPIs
Investment Models
- Direct ownership of mining assets
- Civil or corporate partnerships with industrial and financial partners
- Build–Operate–Transfer (BOT) financing models
- Long-term production-based buyback agreements
- Hybrid instruments including project bonds, private equity funds, and syndicated facilities
Risk Management
- Balanced portfolio across exploration, development, and operation stages
