Active Partnership

LHR works alongside management teams to help develop a corporate vision and facilitate delivery of the strategic plan. We strive to implement the world’s best practices by leveraging Lionhead’s experience and track record in advancing projects from all stages.

This is often achieved by securing positions on the Board/Technical/Finance Committee, where we are able to provide valuable representation and governance oversight.

LHR works with management to ensure the optimal structuring and will advising on follow-on funding, including debt financing.

LHR’s extensive mining industry experience, knowledge, financial expertise and deep global networks are employed to assist management teams and boards of directors through strategic input, to grow the value of the investee companies through progressive and systematic de-risking of projects.

LHR provides mentorship, technical guidance and support to management teams through responsive counsel, identifying risks early on and implementing a technical process to address them to achieve the desired outcome for the project.

As a direct investor with active involvement in portfolio company operations and significant influence through representation in the governance structure, LHR is able to work with management to implement and manage ESG initiatives in its portfolio companies, establishing dedicated ESG procedures and policies.

Long-term alignment between our ESG principles and goals and those within our portfolio companies is established pre-investment, through collaborative engagement with management teams, and embedded (where appropriate) into voting controls and governance structures at the time of investment.

This is complemented by the hands-on, long-term experience that our management team has in building, owning and operating similar assets and businesses.

LHR is focused on boosting the company profiles on its investee companies; making them a more attractive target on exit

This will often involve the direct and indirect marketing of the portfolio company to investors, as LHR begins planning for exit

Our large global access provides investee companies with an entry point to LHR’s wide networks in the sector and beyond.

LHR leverages its networks to provide management with additional resources and insights, necessary in executing on key strategic outcomes.
