Private equity firms Energy and Minerals Group and Vision Blue Resources completed a $150m investment in Denham Capital-backed Serra Verde, a mining company. “This is a compelling opportunity to both enable the sustainable energy transition and provide a new source of large scale production of both heavy and light rare earth elements outside Asia, which are utilized today in the manufacturing of 90% of all permanent magnets. Robust growth in demand for these rare earths, driven by renewable energy applications and a desire for alternative sources of supply, inform our view of a very positive outlook for the Serra Verde product," Mick Davis, VBR CEO.
