RMMI’s mission is to become a leading mining solutions provider in the metals and minerals industry through strategic, long-term investments across the entire mining value chain - from geological exploration, mining and processing to trading and logistics.
The company is backed by the extensive experience of both RAKIA and Trimex. RAKIA’s mandate is to underpin the investment attractiveness of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, which has a long history in mining and has produced about 100 million tonnes per year of limestone and aggregate in the last 30 years. With 25 years of experience in the business, Trimex specialises in mining, research and development, processing, shipping, logistics and marketing. Trimex benefits from its extensive regional experience and global reach – shipping close to 4 million tonnes of various cargoes all over the world.
Although still a relatively young company, RMMI has emerged as a highly successful investment arm of RAKIA and is now a fully-fledged Middle East mining company, currently managing 23 licenses in Indonesia, Congo and Armenia and recently investing in Australia. RMMI will invest approximately US$1 billion during 2008 towards building an asset base exceeding US$4 billion.
RMMI’s strategic focus is on the investment in, and development and operation of mining businesses to rapidly generate growth across minerals and metals investments. With an emphasis on the long-term, RMMI adheres to an investment matrix of metals, minerals and energy, targeting mid-sized companies and independent mine owners who represent one of the fastest growing segments in the industry.
Organisations RMMI invests in benefit from the expertise of RMMI’s professional team, the company’s global experience in mine development and operations, and its local competence, all guided by a business strategy that assures mutual growth.
As an involved, long-term investor of high ethical standards, the company is committed to sharing the benefits with mine owners and mining communities in an enduring partnership that has transformed a commodities business into a relationship business.
All of RMMI’s mining developments are vetted according to the Australian JORC (Joint Ores Resource Committee) regulations.

Liberty International Mining Group
|
|
|
Liberty International Mineral Corporation is heralded by many as one of the most exciting exploration companies in the world with 30 highly potential projects in progress on two continents which have subsequently caught the attention of numerous large mining companies, boutique firms and financial institutions.
Liberty is the largest holder of Mineral Exploration licenses in the mineral rich and previously unexplored nation of Liberia West Africa where it has 18 gold exploration projects in progress and the potential of numerous significant, high-grade, or possibly even world-class gold deposits as indicated by the extensive amount of geological work completed to date.
Liberty is also the largest holder of mineral tenures in British Columbia Canada with approximately 14,000 km2 of territory under license in the famous Kootenay region rated by BC Geoscience as the most mineralized area in BC and the most economical to explore and develop.
The Kootenay region of British Columbia was built on mining and has already produced over $40 Billion worth of ore and the potential for at least another $40 Billion of ore is very real. The BC Government website also states that exploration dollars go ten times further in this region because all the necessary infrastructure is there including rail, roads, water, hydro and the world’s largest non-ferrous smelter, thereby greatly reducing both exploration and potential mine development costs.
Liberty currently has four top-priority projects on which it is concentrating its efforts, two highly potential large gold projects in Africa and two highly potential polymetallic projects in Canada, one for copper silver and one for silver lead zinc. In addition Liberty has vast holdings with high-grade mineralized zones of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum and tungsten within its extensive land package in southern BC Canada.
Len Lindstrom is the founder and president of Liberty who, in conjunction with a growing number of highly seasoned geological professionals, remains the driving force behind the Company’s rapid growth and exciting development. (www.libmin.com) |
