Appian Capital Advisory
Appian Capital Advisory LLP is a private equity firm based in London, specializing in investments within the natural resources sector, particularly in mining companies. The firm focuses on base metals, precious metals, fertilizers, and select niche commodities, investing in projects across all stages of the mining cycle, from exploration to optimization. Appian prioritizes opportunities in countries with stable political environments and favorable mining regulations, and it allocates its investments evenly across North America, Latin America, Africa, and other regions opportunistically. The firm typically invests between $10 million and $150 million in small to medium-sized companies and aims to take a controlling interest in its investments. Appian seeks to exit through initial public offerings, trade sales, or other corporate transactions. Established in 2012, the firm has additional offices in Africa, South America, Europe, and Australia, and serves as the investment advisor to the Appian Natural Resources Fund, which pools investor capital for targeted investments in the sector.
