Our global portfolio demonstrates our persistence in discovery to enable progress for early-staged projects. The Group achieves this through good ideas, judicious investment and the teamwork of skilled people working for shared benefit.
Our vision is to always strive for positive change, persistently using the resources at our disposal to make discoveries and capitalise on them for shared benefit.
Our strategy is to invest for social and financial return where the credibility of participants can be demonstrated and where there is absolute clarity about the nature of the opportunity.
Our people are independent thinkers who are curious by nature. They share a view that the discoveries which lead to lasting progress are often made outside large corporate operating structures. Our devolved approach to managing assets succeeds because individuals are trusted, supported and encouraged to endeavour and to succeed.
Our culture is not prescribed. But to each member of our team it is immediately obvious that our range of origins and professional backgrounds works to our mutual benefit.
