Mining finance is how exploration and mining projects get funded, from early exploration through to production. It covers equity raises, private placements, royalties, streaming agreements, and offtake deals. Junior explorers are the hardest part of that market to fund, because the projects are small, technical, and early.

A curated basket groups several project exposures under one investment thesis, while buying an individual junior gives exposure to that company. A basket can spread project-specific risk, but shared commodity, jurisdiction and financing risks can still affect several holdings together.

Access is intended for eligible institutional, qualified or accredited investors, depending on their jurisdiction. Eligibility and identity checks are required before access to an offering; registering interest does not establish eligibility or create an investment commitment.

Minestarters is led by Founder and Executive Chairman Marcel Nally, a geologist with over 30 years' experience in junior mining and the founder of Moxico Resources. The team combines mining, capital markets, and technology backgrounds. Full bios on the Team page.

Net asset value is the estimated value of the holdings less liabilities; NAV per unit divides that amount by the units outstanding. For private mining interests, review the valuation date, method and assumptions, because an estimated NAV is not necessarily an achievable sale price.

No. A reporting standard establishes disclosure requirements, but the report’s findings, project stage and supporting assumptions still need examination; an exploration result or mineral resource is not the same as a mineral reserve supported by the required studies.

A Bermuda SAC is a single legal entity that can hold multiple segregated accounts, each with its own assets and liabilities kept separate from every other account in the company. Minestarters custodies mining assets inside a Bermuda SAC, so a problem in one account cannot reach the assets held in another.

A vault token is a digital record of your proportional economic rights to a specific Segregated Account. It does not represent ownership of Minestarters, and its value comes entirely from the performance of the underlying mining assets in that account.

Review the project evidence, ownership and tenure, management, funding requirements, proposed terms and principal risks. The assessment should connect geological claims to source documents and examine how the holdings fit together, including concentration and future financing needs.

An early exit depends on the investment terms, transfer restrictions and whether a permitted buyer or redemption mechanism exists. Private mining exposure can be illiquid, so investors should not assume that they can sell when they want or recover the reported value.

Due diligence does not remove geological uncertainty, development delays, cost increases, commodity-price exposure or jurisdictional risk. Financing may be unavailable and an investment may be difficult to sell; investors can lose all of their committed capital.

Technology risk also applies to the digital systems used to record and administer an investment.

Minestarters and its operating entities are in the process of submitting applications for Digital Asset Business Act (DABA) licences from the Bermuda Monetary Authority. The licences have not yet been granted. Ask the team to confirm Minestarters’ current licensing status and which services are available in your jurisdiction. An application for a licence is not an approval, and website information should not be read as an open investment offer.
