A focused acquirer for non-core mining assets.
Galena Capital acquires advanced projects and operating mines from companies reshaping their portfolios. We give each asset dedicated leadership and the capital to move forward, with flexible deal structures that let sellers share in the upside.
About
Who we are
$75B+Combined M&A and financing transaction experience
As they grow and their asset portfolios evolve, large mining companies will rightly concentrate management time and capital allocation on their largest, most valuable assets. Other non-core assets within their portfolio become too small to move the needle, outside of core commodities or regions, or fall behind other priorities for capital and people.
Galena Capital was formed to acquire these assets and reposition them into a new growth-oriented company that has the bandwidth to create meaningful value for all stakeholders.
Our partners have built their careers around company building, with backgrounds that include working for major mining companies, junior mining companies, investment banking and private equity. Combined, we have M&A and financing transaction experience totalling more than $75 billion, and have worked with some of the most successful entrepreneurs in the mining industry. We know how to identify, execute and finance transactions, and we know what matters for boards when they need to make a decision to approve a sale.
What our partners bring
Strong execution
We have worked on both sides of the table, and we bring that discipline to every stage of a transaction.
Exceptional people
A broad industry network underpins our approach. Each asset we acquire will have strong management and a board whose reputation and skills match the asset and its stakeholders.
Financing expertise
With our strong financial expertise and deep relationships across the capital markets, we optimize each acquisition’s financing strategy around the asset and the seller’s objectives.
For sellers
How we work with sellers
We know a divestment is a decision about people, communities and reputation as well as value. Our process is direct, efficient and built around the seller's objectives.
