Metals and Mining - OVERVIEW
A specialized investment platform that identifies, structures, and facilitates high-potential investment opportunities across the global metals, minerals, and natural resources sectors. The company operates at the intersection of market intelligence, capital raising, and transaction execution — connecting investors with curated assets in mining, energy transition commodities, and infrastructure-related projects. Through deep market analysis and strategic advisory, Metals and Mining consolidates deal flow from both early-stage exploration ventures and established producers, providing tailored investment pathways ranging from equity stakes and offtake agreements to structured debt and private placements. The platform plays a critical role in enabling capital mobility across complex jurisdictions and commodities markets, with a focus on value creation, sustainable resource development, and long-term investor returns.
Current Projects
Verdant Earth Technologies
is a Sydney-based, Australian-owned renewable energy company founded in 2018, focused on developing 24/7 clean energy infrastructure. Its flagship project involves transforming the 151 MW Redbank Power Station from a former coal-fired facility into a net-zero biomass plant capable of powering 200,000 NSW homes, using sustainable, purpose-grown biomass rather than native forestry residues. Verdant is also developing a 100 MW battery energy storage system (Warkworth BESS) and spearheading “Project 2000,” a national plan to deliver 2,000 MW of firmed renewable energy capacity. The company further integrates green hydrogen production by installing onsite electrolyzers at renewable hubs, ensuring low-cost off-take during surplus generation. Positioned as a key enabler of Australia’s energy transition, Verdant combines innovation, infrastructure, and sustainability to repurpose legacy assets for a clean energy future.
Koch / Constance Iron
(Formerly Koch Metals and Constance Iron Limited) is an emerging Australian mining entity engaged in early-stage exploration and development of iron ore assets. In partnership with Tulla Resources, the company is targeting the Norseman Iron Project in Western Australia—a region with historically strong mineral potential. Koch has committed up to A$42 million over three years to fund exploration, mine planning, and project development. As part of the deal, Koch has secured offtake rights for up to 400 million tonnes of iron ore, beginning with an initial 200 Mt and potentially extending to life-of-mine supply agreements. Future obligations include covering 65% of project costs, contingent upon due diligence, capital raising, and final commercial terms. The project remains in its early phases, focused on drilling, resource classification, and feasibility assessment. With a substantial offtake framework in place and significant funding committed, Koch’s venture into Norseman reflects a high-upside bet typical of early-stage iron ore investment strategies.
H2X Global
An Australian hydrogen vehicle startup leading the shift toward zero-emission commercial mobility through fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) technology. Instead of manufacturing vehicles from the ground up, H2X takes a capital-efficient approach by retrofitting existing vehicle platforms with proprietary hydrogen-electric powertrains—targeting fleets such as delivery vans, utility vehicles, and heavy transport. The company’s first major model, the Warrego Ute, is a rugged 4x4 utility vehicle featuring 260 kW motor output, a 30 kWh battery, and 450 km range, tailored for industries like mining and construction.Other models in development include the Darling Van, a commercial-grade hydrogen van co-developed with KTM Technologies, boasting up to 400 km range and heavy payload capacity, and the Snowy SUV, an early-stage concept aimed at reaching up to 650 km of range. Backed by a ~A$57M investment from Verde Mobility, H2X is actively scaling operations, securing supplier partnerships, and refining prototypes.
