Equity capital, loan and investment system for acquisition of assets
To enhance and expedite high-risk mineral exploration and mining projects, JOGMEC provides the necessary funds in the form of equity support or loan. In 2010, a scheme of equity participation was also started to assist Japanese companies for the acquisition of mining interests in the development and production stages.
Investment in world-class minor metal producers
JOGMEC invested in world-class niobium (Brazil) and ferrochrome (South Africa) producers with some Japanese companies, for the purpose of a stable supply of these metals to the Japanese manufacturers.
Debt guarantee
Projects in the development stage require a massive amount of investment, ranging from tens of millions to more than one billion dollars. JOGMEC provides debt guarantees for development funds loaned by private financial institutions to Japanese companies, in order to ensure a smooth procurement of these development funds and to reduce the business risks and country risks associated with each project.
