Tracking Global Mining Deals
Launched in late 2007, “From Money to Metals” gathers together disparate data on institutions (both commercial and private) which aim to profit from mineral extraction and processing. The database examines the background, investment and management strategies of around 500 banks, private funders, insurance companies, hedge funds and private equity firms, as well as some individuals, that have recently provided financial stimulus to numerous mining companies.
