RiverFort Global Capital is an FCA-authorised institutional investment fund, equity and debt capital to high-growth companies. We have a 10 year+ track record in junior mining and natural resources, operating two strategies to support companies at each stage of growth:
Long-only equity: direct equity investment, backing companies with high potential.
Structured credit: loans of 3 to 36 months, typically to put assets into production, bridge to a future equity raise at higher prices, or as pre-IPO financing. Repayment can be through cash, shares or a combination.
Operating in London, Australia, Canada, Europe and Gibraltar, RiverFort is a highly experienced financier across different markets and sectors. The RiverFort team has executed in excess of US$15bn of growth financing transactions.
Management Team:
Liam Bulmer, Head of Investments: over 13 years structuring debt and equity financing, with deep experience in the UK, Australia and Canada.
Avanti Helium (TSXV): US$10m facility to put assets into production.
Resource Mining International (ASX): A$5m facility to support rare-earth, base and precious metals exploration activities in Saudi Arabia and Tanzania.
Ariana Resources (AIM): US$5m strategic project financing facility and several equity investments, to enable their 2nd gold mine to be put onto production and support exploration activity in Zimbabwe.
Cerro de Pasco Resources (TSXV): supported for 6 years through bridge loans and straight equity investment.
Future objectives We are looking to deploy further capital from our own balance sheet into listed resource companies in the UK, Australia and Canada, particularly those approaching a clear catalyst: a resource update, feasibility study, acquisition or the move into production. We want to meet management teams who need funding that fits their timeline and does not rely on a heavily discounted placing.
Other details RiverFort is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (No. 766760). We are a repeat funder, and many of our investee companies have returned for second and third facilities as their projects have advanced. We can fund at corporate or project level, secured or unsecured, from US$500k upwards.
