Investment strategy
Mining is a long-horizon industry: the life-cycle of a mine, from greenfield exploration through to closure and rehabilitation, often spans many decades. It is an industry that requires long-term commitment, not just in terms of the time and resources necessary to find, develop and operate an asset, but in the responsible partnering of community, labour, government and supplier stakeholders to ensure sustained socio-economic and environmental benefits.
This universal truth is the cornerstone of IRH’s investment philosophy. We are a long-term active investor with patient capital committed to creating a responsible mine to market value chain in a manner that creates real value and facilitates sustainable socio-economic upliftment for every stakeholder. Our strategy uniquely focuses on those premium mining projects with significant potential to enhance operational performance through strategic investment and sustainably uplift communities, thereby balancing financial performance with positive societal impact.
We aim to invest in the full range of metals and minerals that will drive the transition to a low carbon, sustainable future and those underpinning Industry 4.0. This includes copper, cobalt, nickel, lithium, iron ore, and metallurgical coal.
