Antipodes Mineral Resources (AMR) 

What types of investment projects would you expect to find in a mineral company?

Mineral Company has two kinds of projects: Greenfield Exploration and Brownfield Exploration. Greenfield refers to exploration projects in areas where mineral deposits are not known to exist, whereas Brownfield refers to mineral exploration in previously known areas. In each kind of project there are three major types of investments:

1. Investment in Mining Infrastructure: In the mining industry, the initial investment required for infrastructure is Casehuge and may be more than hundreds of billion dollars. Thus, mineral companies carefully plan a good infrastructure to maintain a perfect investment. The use of information technology can help them to improve their planned and tactical functions and can be a source of progress in the production of mines in the future. Another important aspect the mineral company should look after is they have a proper place and sufficient land to escape uncommon circumstances like pollution. Logistics is also a significant factor that should be given due attention. Logistics means both transportation and storage of goods. It is a difficult task to maintain the goods and companies take help of Government agencies and other major shareholders to construct the infrastructure which includes the making of roads for transportation of finished goods, setting up of pipeline, power plant expenditures, and other important concerns. Trams are used for transporting mines, raw materials, and waste.
