Fig Tree Resources Fund

Fig Tree Resources Fund targets equity and equity-related investments in mineral resources development projects throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. The Fund’s investment advisory team believes that Sub-Saharan Africa, and the mineral resources industry in particular, represents a compelling market opportunity that is underserved by investment capital. Founded in 2008 and headed by an experienced team of African residents, the Fig Tree Advisory Team is based in Johannesburg, South Africa, and comprises a unique blend of technical, corporate and financial skills with extensive mineral resources industry experience in investment, project finance, consulting and operations in numerous countries throughout the region. The Fund aims to invest in development projects that fall within a predetermined commodity and jurisdictional focus. This “top-down” approach enables Fig Tree to pro-actively target suitable investment opportunities. The Fund currently targets the following investment themes: Zambian copper; West and East African gold; High-grade thermal coal on infrastructure; Nickel sulphide belts; and High-grade iron ore and manganese on infrastructure.
