Based on studies by PricewaterhouseCoopers, there is a great need for mining private equity and venture capital due to a down-spiral in demand, internal funding, and pricing. Mining funding is valuable to start up and stalled projects as well as joint venture opportunities with overseas partners.
As with all other industries, there is also need for technological innovation to support process optimization along with improvements in safety and environmental impact, which can be addressed through the backing of mining venture capital firms. The mining industry is prominent throughout Mountain venture capital firms in states such as Montana and Wyoming, as well as Illinois. Together, these states contribute more than 50% of mining in the United States. Mining venture capital companies typically provide financing for emerging products/solution and critical projects.
