The Company considers investment opportunities in countries in Africa that are undergoing and may undergo sovereignty changes such as changes in international borders, and the creation of new countries out of current ones.
Personnel associated with The Company are experts on the geopolitics of these countries undergoing sovereignty change and establish key relationships with the leadership or potential leaders of the new states. In addition, to successfully execute our strategy, The Company has a powerful Board of Advisers that are native to the countries of which we are focused. The Company has consulting relationships with top level former US government officials and experts on Africa. This accumulated expertise, in-country and geopolitical experience, gives The Company a competitive advantage over others attempting to operate in similar areas. The partnerships and experience have created "barriers to entry" for others to emulate the strategy in this niche space.
The Company continues to monitor opportunities in regional countries if we deem the relevant considerations to merit our investment. We execute our strategy across the spectrum of opportunities within the natural resources business, from hydrocarbons to minerals to agriculture, through a variety of transactions.
In these markets, we search for the following market environments and types of projects:
- Frontier natural resources projects where limited competition exists;
- Acquisitions with significant upside potential;
- Supportive local political and/or local groups.
The following is a list of some of the factors we take into account when considering potential investments in any country:
- Potential for underexploited mineral and hydrocarbon reserves with promising upside potential that had previously been unable to access due to endogenous variables.
Jarch Management Group, Ltd. can engage in any of the following types of transactions to achieve our strategic goals:
- Agricultural transactions such as land leases
- Mining concessions for minerals
- Exploration and Production (E&P)
- Farm-ins and farm-outs
- Corporate transactions
- Joint ventures
- Partnering with other established natural resources companies will allow us to access certain government concession rounds, benefit from technical and market expertise from our potential partners and provide liquidity to our partners.
