Apex is a private, high growth,
diversified mining royalty company

Managed by a team of highly experienced mining industry executives, Apex is actively deploying capital to grow its portfolio through value accretive transactions.

STRATEGY

___

Apex’s diversified approach allows it to capitalise on cyclically mis-priced opportunities and benefit from superior across the cycle returns.

  • Commodity diversification – we invest in all minerals albeit with a focus on mainstream and future facing commodities.
  • Geographic diversification – we have a global mandate, however, Apex focuses on established mining royalty jurisdictions with a preference for OECD countries.
  • Asset stage – we seek assets across the mining life cycle with a preference for operating/near production assets.

Apex targets attractive small-to-mid size transactions which are often ignored in a royalty space dominated by large players, who are frequently focused primarily on precious metals opportunities.

Apex adopts a nimble and flexible approach to transactions allowing us to work with companies and asset holders to structure investments to meet the needs of all parties; this flexibility allows us a competitive advantage in unlocking and securing investments.

ROYALITIES ARE A SUPERIOR WAY TO INVEST IN COMMODITIES

___

  • Royalties provide greater protection than equities – Royalties are high yielding investments that are typically senior in the capital structure (e.g., normally superior than even secured debt when registered as real property).  This security can take many forms but can include through an interest in real property thereby conferring a perpetual right to the underlying land. 
  • Royalties provide direct exposure to commodity prices, but without exposure to capital deficiencies and operating losses.
  •  Royalties benefit from “free” geological upside: any extension in mine life or increase in production rate is ‘freely accretive’ to the royalty holder.
