Natural Resources

Rothschild's Natural Resources team provides project finance, corporate loan facilities and structured commodity finance for mining and mineral processing companies around the world.

Rothschild is a key player in the mining and metals sector, where its name has been synonymous with the mining industry for over 100 years.  It has committed over US$ 2 billion of finance over the past 20 years, including funding of precious and base metals mining projects worldwide.  Rothschild's clients range in size from the global mining houses to emerging mining companies.

Through the combination of its in-house technical / industry expertise, structuring capability, and willingness to consider exposure in developing world countries, Rothschild is able to assist mining companies to finance more complex projects and transactions including bridging and mezzanine facilities.  The full range of products is available including loans, guarantees and risk participations in commodity and currency hedging.

Our commitment to the sector is evidenced by the employment of in-house mining engineers who understand the risks in the industry and the specific needs of mining companies.

Rothschild has a wide range of contacts with other financial institutions that are also active in the resources sector which has facilitated the successful arrangement and syndication of loan facilities.

Rothschild is also active in the Structured Commodity Finance sector where it finances companies in the emerging markets involved in the export of commodities such as oil, gas, coal, metals and  soft commodities.  This activity utilises our technical knowledge of mining and the commodities markets, together with our understanding of complex legal and financing structures.
