Africa was the recipient of over R3.5 billion in private equity mining investments during 2014, a report released by Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) this week describes.
This represents the third largest investment sum by continent, following North American investments that total R11.6 billion, and Australia, at R4.2 billion, although Africa netted nearly a quarter of the total number of project investments over the period.
A total of slightly over R23.1 billion of private equity funds was injected into global mining projects during 2014, through over 50 private equity investments, executed by 30 different private equity funds. Gold was the most frequently targeted mineral, with 15 investments, followed by coking coal, with 6.

While impressive, BLP’s report highlights that there is still significant investment scope in a market that is beginning to build momentum.
Half the money was invested in 11 acquisitions with an average transaction sum of R1.3 billion. The next most significant investment avenue was the acquisition of strategic stakes, with over R44 billion invested across 22 deals.
