As the world requires more mining in the age of electrification

Capital has been simply decimated for the sector

How does the world untangle this Gordian-Knot?

This was complemented by Alternative Capital – the proverbial “raise USD100m in an afternoon in Mayfair-London”

Trading Houses and Mining companies had a keen interest the junior sector 

This supported the Listed Junior Market

What has happened?

Merchant Banks no longer exist due to B IIII

Alternative Capital is focused on Quantitative Strategies v Special Situations in the 00s

Mining Companies focused on efficiencies

Trading Companies can only participate pre-production
