Mining’s old guard needs strong medicine
A new report details subpar investor returns in the mining industry over the last decade, particularly big cap diversified companies which have not adapted to new realities.
HONG KONG (May 7, 2013) – RungePincockMinarco, the world’s largest publicly traded independent group of mining technical experts, expands its Asian presence by increasing its team in Hong Kong.
The expansion is an acknowledgement by RPM of the importance of Hong Kong as one of the world’s growing mining investment hubs and will support RPM’s already-strong reputation in the financial markets of Hong Kong.
“We’ve had our office in Hong Kong for some time now and have developed a strong reputation for delivering success. We have successfully completed the largest majority of mining transactions on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since the introduction of the revised Chapter 18 listing rules,” says Mr. Philippe Baudry, Regional General Manager for RPM’s Asian and Russian operations.
“Expanding our team in Hong Kong means that we will have added focus on delivering exceptional value and personalized support to our local clients in the investment and mining industries there.
As part of this expansion, Mr. Jeremy Clark has been appointed as the Operations Manager to lead the team in Hong Kong. Mr. Clark has over 13 years of experience in operational and advisory services in more than 40 countries throughout Asia, Australia, Africa and the Americas.
Mr. Clark has been involved in a number of successful large-scale Independent Expert listing documents for IPO’s on the leading global financial exchanges and has been a central member of RPM’s Asia team. It is this depth and breadth of experience that makes him well placed to take up this pivotal role.
“Having been in our Beijing office since 2010, Jeremy is well placed to lead our team in Hong Kong to advise our clients of the key risks and requirements of the Hong Kong Exchange listing rules as well as detailed technical opinion to assist them in their investments.”
The Hong Kong office is part of RPM’s global network of 18 offices in 12 countries including other offices in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, Mongolia, Russia, South Africa and the USA.
