Base metals non-ferrous minors and or smelters mainly based in emerging markets need from time to time to upgrade their capital equipment in order to continue production and to remain cash-flow positive. This requires important financing over a medium to long-term period. If no financing solution is found it can create a situation whereby miners and/or smelters are not able to produce. One of the major issues is to find the best sources of finance which mitigates the underlying risks linked to such financing. The experience of MRI TRADING AG acts as an intermediary to provide solutions and or introduction to (i) strategic investors, (ii) banks, (iii) consultants. By linking commercial off-take contracts MRI TRADING AG adds value and helps to structure and to secure the required finance to link the repayment flow coming out of the production / delivery made under the off-take contract.

MRI TRADING AG has invested in various junior mining and processing projects in South America, Europe, Africa and Asia and holds various exploration and mining concessions in Asia and Africa.

MRI TRADING AG is constantly seeking and evaluating other new projects with the aim to build long-term partnerships with producers around the world.
