Unlocking potential
La Mancha’s primary objective is to offer professional investors targeted exposure to high-quality mining assets with untapped potential in the precious and energy transition metals sectors.
Through our diverse and highly skilled technical expertise we aim to identify and mitigate investment risks, including key ESG considerations.
As part of our investment criteria, we require portfolio companies to have decarbonisation strategies, adopt industry leading ESG standards, metrics and reporting, and software driven ESG risk management systems as well as link executive pay to ambitious ESG objectives.
Building on the group’s investment history, the Fund specialises in acquiring and managing significant minority stakes in mining companies with strong managerial and geological potential. The Fund aims to deliver transformational growth and returns through a concentrated portfolio of listed equities, with the ability to also acquire private assets.
The group has played a key role in the transformation of multiple junior mining companies into sizable, well diversified, regional and sector-significant players that have generated superior capital returns to investors and achieved meaningful ESG improvements.
