The Aranak Story

Building resource companies since 2004

From operational turnaround to public markets, Aranak brings together mining experience, entrepreneurial capital, people and corporate capability to build resources businesses.

Our Story

A platform for mining investment, turnarounds and company building

Aranak was established in Australia in 2004 by mining engineer and resources executive Arvind Misra as a platform for mining investment, operational improvement, corporate restructuring and company building.

Over more than two decades, Aranak has participated in resources businesses at different stages of their lifecycle, from operational turnarounds and mine development to acquisitions, corporate restructuring, capital raising and public-market listings.

The experience encompasses Australia and international mining jurisdictions, including India, Africa and South America.

Aranak’s philosophy is based on a simple observation:

A good mineral asset alone does not create a successful resources company. It requires the right people, capital, corporate structure, governance and execution.

Our Capabilities

Aranak's approach combines four capabilities

Aranak seeks opportunities where it can contribute across several of these dimensions, alongside its capital.

01

Mining & Technical Understanding

Engineering, operations and mine development experience at the foundation of everything we do.

02

Corporate & Transaction Capability

Restructurings, acquisitions, corporate formation and repositioning.

03

Entrepreneurial & Strategic Capital

Capital committed alongside capability, where Aranak can genuinely contribute.

04

Public Capital-Market Experience

Companies positioned for, and taken to, the London AIM and Australian ASX markets.

Our Positioning

A company builder

Aranak can invest, originate, restructure and support companies, but the overarching capability is building businesses around resources opportunities.

From opportunity to enterprise.

A company builder, rather than simply:

  • A mining consultancy
  • An investment fund
  • A project generator
  • An exploration company
  • An IPO or promotional vehicle

We bring together assets, people, capital, governance and strategy to build businesses.

Global Experience. Selective Capital.

International opportunity, approached selectively

International mining creates significant opportunity, but also additional complexity.

Aranak approaches international opportunities selectively, considering geology and economics alongside political, regulatory, operating and counterparty risks.

We prefer jurisdictions where we can establish credible local relationships, understand the operating environment and see sufficient potential to justify the risks involved.
