IG is traditionally a first mover into the areas we identify for high potential mineral discovery. We are closely followed by a group of loyal investors that share in the risk, the vision, the challenges and the successes as we explore and discover the minerals at the foundation of our global economy.
As we develop these projects and their asset value increases, we continue to fund these projects, expanding our investor base primarily through private placements and joint ventures.
We have the expertise and network to take projects through to development and production, though most often our exploration and discovery successes are rewarded through buyout offers from larger entities seeking to secure supply of the critical minerals we find.
While we firmly believe in the ability to advance projects more efficiently as a private entity, we continually evaluate timing and metrics for increasing value through a public offering.
Our current imperative is to bring quality projects of scale to the market through early stage mineral exploration and development in jurisdictions representing both strategic supply chain advantages and potential for world class deposits.
Why we like Kazakhstan and Mongolia
- Strategic opportunity for high returns developing early-stage Copper-Gold and Critical Minerals properties
- Top jurisdictions for large deposits & strategic locations; friendly to East and West
- IG Asia regional expertise & team gives us an edge for successful strategy execution
- Early mover on investment, exploration & resource development opportunities
- Discover and develop world class deposits for sale, JV or M&A
