Kazakhstan Junior Mining Fund
About
We’ve set up the Future Minerals Junior Mining Fund managed by a vertically integrated team of GWM Capital (licensed Fund manager in AIFC) to invest in early-stage mineral exploration across Kazakhstan — one of the last frontiers for significant discoveries in critical minerals like copper, lithium, and rare earths.
Kazakhstan, and Central Asia more broadly, remains largely underexplored geologically, and this fund is designed to support juniormining companies through the earliest and riskiest stages — drilling, reserve evaluation, and eventual exit via trade sale or strategic partner. The structure is compliant with AIFC regulations and also Shariah-certified, opening access to a diverse investor base.
Diversification of investments to maximize potential profitability through a well-managed distribution of risks:
Plan to invest in 10–12 different legal entities
Focus on entities with existing exploration and/or mining rights in Kazakhstan and Central Asia
May also invest to acquire such rights via new licenses, indirectly through newly established legal entities
We will maintain a controlling ownership stake or options to purchase in these entities, securing rights in the event of successful exploration
