Appian and IFC launched a $1B fund for mining in Africa and Latin America, starting with Brazil’s Santa Rita mine, meeting strict ESG standards.
Appian and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) have launched a US$1 billion fund targeting critical minerals, metals, and mining projects in emerging markets, focusing on Africa and Latin America.
The fund, the first dedicated exclusively to mining in these regions, will invest in equity, credit, and royalties, with all projects required to meet IFC’s strict environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
IFC is anchoring the fund with a US$100 million investment, and the first project is Atlantic Nickel’s Santa Rita mine in Brazil, which will produce about 30,000 tonnes of nickel equivalent annually.
The partnership, built on a decade of collaboration, aims to deliver strong financial returns alongside sustainable development outcomes like job creation and increased government revenues.
