Critical minerals and precious metals co-investment opportunities

Motjuan provides accredited investors and institutions with access to co-investment opportunities across critical minerals and precious metals — structured as direct equity positions, trade finance participation, private credit, and diversified portfolio vehicles. Every structure operates on a principal capital model with zero management fees and pure equity alignment.

We invest alongside you. Nothing more, nothing less.

Motjuan does not manage third-party funds, charge carried interest, or pool investor capital under discretionary management. Every investment opportunity we offer is structured as a direct co-investment — where investors own their proportional share of underlying assets alongside Motjuan’s own principal capital.

This model eliminates the conflicts of interest inherent in traditional fund structures. When Motjuan commits capital to a mining project, trade finance facility, or private credit arrangement, we commit on the same terms as our co-investors. Our returns depend on the same outcomes as yours.

The result is a straightforward alignment of interest: we succeed when you succeed, and we are exposed to the same risks when markets move against us.

Investment Solutions We offer

Eight pathways to critical minerals and precious metals exposure

Motjuan opens access to mid-cap critical minerals and precious metals opportunities ($10M-$100M) — a segment overlooked by major mining companies and inaccessible through traditional investment vehicles. Each of the eight structures below offers a distinct risk-return profile, liquidity characteristic, and qualification requirement, tailored to different capital deployment objectives through direct co-investment.

Direct investments

Acquire equity stakes directly alongside Motjuan in active mining projects across DRC, Zambia, South Africa, Brazil, and the United States. Structures include preferred shares with dividend rights post-production, board observer rights, and pro-rata participation rights in future funding rounds.

Best for: Long-term equity investors seeking direct exposure to specific mining assets with defined governance rights.

Diversified Portfolio Co-Investment

Co-invest in a diversified portfolio of 15-30 mining transactions structured as special purpose vehicles where Motjuan commits capital on identical terms. Investors own a proportional share directly — no pooled management, no carried interest, and no management fees beyond transparent administration costs.

Best for: Investors seeking diversified exposure across multiple transactions without single-asset concentration risk.

Short Term Notes

Fixed-income securities issued by Motjuan entities, backed by physical commodity transactions generating 12-18% annual returns over 12-24 month terms. Secured by physical inventory, offtake agreements, or equipment with quarterly interest payments and principal returned at maturity.

Best for: Investors seeking fixed-income returns backed by physical commodity assets with defined maturities.

Private Credit

Co-lend alongside Motjuan in senior secured loans to mining companies requiring working capital, equipment financing, or exploration funding. Loans carry 15-22% annual rates with first-priority security over equipment, inventory, or receivables and monthly interest payments.

Best for: Investors seeking senior secured credit exposure with regular monthly income and defined security packages.

Trading co-investments

Participate alongside Motjuan in specific commodity transactions — copper, lithium, cobalt, gold, and silver — with full deal transparency and transaction-by-transaction selection. Holding periods of 90-180 days with direct profit share after costs and comprehensive due diligence packages provided.

Best for: Sophisticated investors seeking short-duration, high-transparency exposure to specific commodity transactions.

Sustainable investments

Co-invest in an ESG-focused portfolio targeting IRMA-certified mines, Fairmined operations, and carbon-neutral projects. Enhanced due diligence covers labour practices, community impact, and environmental performance with annual impact reporting, carbon tracking, and third-party audit verification.

Best for: ESG-mandated investors and institutions requiring measurable impact reporting alongside financial returns.

Legal disclosure and risk factors

Motjuan does not manage third-party funds or provide investment advisory services. All investment opportunities are structured as direct co-investments where investors own their proportional share of underlying assets alongside Motjuan’s principal capital in cash or in kind. We do not pool investor capital under discretionary management.

All investments carry substantial risk including total loss of capital. Investors should carefully consider the following risk factors before committing capital:

Commodity Price Risk: Volatile commodity markets can decline 20-50% or more during market downturns, directly impacting the value of underlying assets and projected returns.
Geopolitical Risk: Operations in frontier and emerging markets face elevated political instability, potential nationalisation, export restrictions, and regulatory changes that may materially affect investment outcomes.
Operational Risk: Mining operations involve inherent risks including project delays, equipment failures, geological surprises, labour disputes, and cost overruns that may impact production timelines and returns.
Liquidity Risk: Most investment structures are illiquid with no secondary market and limited or no early exit options. Investors should be prepared to hold positions for the full stated term.
Counterparty Risk: Trading partners, offtake buyers, mining operators, or borrowers may default on contractual obligations, resulting in delayed or reduced returns or loss of capital.
Currency Risk: Foreign exchange fluctuations between local operating currencies and USD-denominated returns may materially affect investment performance across frontier jurisdictions.
