Orion Resource Partners (USA) LP is is an alternative investment manager with $3.2 billion under management (as of March 31, 2017). Orion specializes in providing flexible capital investment solutions to junior mining companies – typically publicly traded – in the base and precious metals sector. Orion has a seasoned team of investment professionals with demonstrated capabilities in structuring debt, equity, convertibles, offtake, streaming, and royalty investments. Orion employs a disciplined, risk-adjusted investment process when evaluating portfolio companies. Orion is able to continue providing the same offtake-linked investments to junior miners at preferable terms, while providing Limited Partners with direct exposure to the base and precious metals mining universe. The ideal mining projects are ones where the Orion team can add financial, as well as operational value, including: pre- and post-production investments and ensuring efficient sale of the mine’s output via offtake. Focusing on later-stage investments, the Orion team is able to better assess the likelihood of reaching production. By incorporating offtakes into its investment strategy, Orion is able to provide mine counterparties with more flexible terms, thereby increasing the probability of reaching production. Offtakes also provide a real-time transparency into production quality and quantity. Orion Resource Partners originated as part of one of the world’s largest metals-dedicated managers, co-founded in 2004 by Orion’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, Oskar Lewnowski. Mr. Lewnowski established the group’s mine finance business in 2008 with an investment focus on later-stage, junior metals mining companies.

The company has an unparalleled presence in Myanmar, with a corporate office in Yangon and an exploration camp in Namtu, Shan State. Principal management team members David Boehm and Andrew Mooney have completed significant mining transactions in-country. APML is advised by Myanmars former Deputy Minister of Mines, U Ko Ko Than, further strengthening the companys business capacities in-country. One of APMLs key advantages is the companys geologic database and library, containing thousands of studies and reports on Myanmars mines and mineral prospects, many of which are not available in the public domain. Using this comprehensive data, APML applied for and was granted approval to explore for silver-lead-zinc on lands completely surrounding the world-famous Bawdwin mine. This licence was granted on 3 October 2014 and represented the first large-scale exploration licence granted to a Western-led company for nearly two decades. Concurrently, APML is in the advanced stage of licensing other mineral prospects in Myanmar, most notably for copper and gold in the Sagaing Division (3 separate applications have been lodged with the Ministry of Mines). In conjunction with these 100%-owned applications, APML is negotiating with local business groups on Myanmars great past-producing mining districts. Using all of these approaches, the company is assembling a portfolio of mineral projects across Myanmar, spanning commodities such as silver, lead, zinc, tin, tungsten and gold commodities Myanmar historically produced in world-leading quantities.
