Invepar South Africa
Sector 03 / 04 · Mining

Resources, services, supply.

Mineral assets and the equipment, contracting and services that keep the sector running. We invest across the chain — from the ground to the gate — with a preference for cash-generative positions.

Sector Overview

From resource to revenue —
integrated mining exposure.

Mining anchors South Africa's economy and the region's industrial future. We invest behind structurally important mineral assets, and behind the contractors, equipment providers and services businesses without which no mine operates.

Our preference is for picks-and-shovels positions where the business performs whether commodity prices rise or fall. Where we hold resource interests directly, we back operators with proven track records, environmental discipline and a path to beneficiation.

Investment Focus

Three sub-sectors,
one integrated thesis.

Within Mining & Services, we focus on three complementary areas — each can stand alone, and together they form a platform.
