A DYNAMIC PRIVATE INVESTMENT GROUP

Supplying feedstock for green infrastructure

With one of the largest unlisted antimony portfolios worldwide. Likely the most rare of deposits found globally, we have cornered over 10% of commercial global reserves, with an intent of doubling our market share to ~20% by 2026.

Our Antimony

Approximately 400,000 tons of contained antimony reserves. Fueling the manufacturing of 4B PV modules or 1.2k FW of solar capacity.

Powering a net-zero world

Powering a net-zero world through the development of the largest private uranium portfolio. Our uranium portfolio’s built with a specific purpose: ensuring consistent supplies of responsible nuclear fuels for a greener world.

Our Uranium

Over than 600m lbs in global resources. Enough to power 100GW of nuclear power for 20 years.

Securing lightweight innovation

Through district scale bauxite development corridors in Brasil. High grade bauxite deposits have become depleted over the years, with an exceeding reliance on West Africa, pushing end users to seek diversification.

Our Bauxite

Over 2 billion tons of washed high grade 50%+ Al2O3 product. Equivalent aluminum for over 1.5 billion EVs.

Fueling global supply chains

Fueling global supply chains through growth funding of near-production mines and technologies. The ROPA Group of companies operate in 26 countries in 6 continents, preparing for the world of tomorrow.

Our Iron Ore

~1 billion tons of DR-grade product. Can replace Canadian iron ore exports for over 20 years.

Investment approach

We go where few venture, and take globally significant positions in sectors deemed to be most unfashionable.

01
Localized approach, intuitive decision-making

Being local is our key asset.  Having built detailed inventories of over 33,000+ mineral deposits globally, we maintain representation in most of the world’s countries.  We opportunistically monitor the globe to find our next investments and act decisively when presented with value-accretive acquisitions.

02
Taking proprietary risk when others hesitate

We deploy our own capital into higher risk situations, often in jurisdictions with limited access to capital or when others hesitate. Given our streamlined management, decisions can be made in minutes with capital deployed to secure accretive acquisitions within days.

03
Predicting commodity shortages

A global outlook and keen understanding of geopolitics has allowed us to build targeted portfolios we intend to hold strategic value for decades to come. As we expand our portfolio, we continue to construct our existing core portfolios around where we see the world decades forward: imperfect markets with supply chain instabilities, leading to rapid demands from certain mining verticals.

  • Our mission

We view resources as underground economic assets to be developed in line with local geopolitical needs. Our mission is to strengthen local sovereignty by growing industrial bases rooted in natural wealth.

Global outlook

A globalized world calls for robust supply chain solutions.  ROPA has spent the past decade building assets across six continents across multiple countries, many of which have since been sold to larger operators such as Ivanhoe Atlantic and the Zamin Group, or listed for follow-on development in the public markets.

Moving forward, the Group has refined its strategy to build and control world class mines in specific industries, identified as the most critical for supply chain robustness in our fractured world.

Nimble & acquisitive

Our teams keep detailed inventories of regional assets, having identified 33,000+ possible mineral deposits globally.

Through a nimble acquisition strategy, we continue to opportunistically expand our portfolio while constructing existing assets through 2030.

Experienced team

We believe that a diversity of opinion leads to optimal solutions.

As such we have built a team of over 70 staff with geological, metallurgical, and engineering backgrounds in varying schools of thought.

Some have had previous careers and experiences at Rio Tinto, Newmont, Zijin Mining, and premier institutions.

With offices in Belgrade, Buenos Aires, Manaus, Monrovia, Conakry, and Bangkok, we are often first movers in consolidating portfolios of niche critical commodities.

  • Principles

Since inception, we have felt an obligation to the communities we work in.  We believe the discovery and operations of new mineral deposits as not only beneficial to the world (as a method of increasing resource availability for global economic growth), but often as a means to provide private investment in rural communities around the world.

Our communities are our long-term responsibility, and it is with them that we strive to sustainably develop long-lasting, environmentally sustainable, and economically empowering businesses.

Environmental Stewardship

We prioritize environmental conservation, implementing rigorous measures to minimize out ecological footprint. From land rehabilitation to water management and emissions reduction, we adhere to best practices that ensure the preservation of natural ecosystem.

Ethical Integrity

Our commitment to ethical integrity extends to all aspects of our operations. We operate with transparency, adhere to strict regulatory compliance, and ensure our representatives remain trusted members of the local communities they operate in.

Community Engagement

ROPA  is dedicated to fostering positive relationships with local communities. We actively engage with residents, support local development initiatives, and create employment opportunities. We believe that our success should benefit the regions where we operate.
