Building Mining's
Future Together

We are partnering with mining entrepreneurs to transform geological potential into commercial reality. Our story is one of deep industry expertise, global relationships, and unwavering commitment to responsible mining investment.

Why We Built YCAP

The mining industry has always been the foundation of human progress. From the copper that powers our cities to the lithium that drives our clean energy transition, minerals are the building blocks of our future.

Yet we saw a gap in the market. Traditional mining finance often failed to serve the mid-tier projects that hold the most promise—too large for traditional venture capital, too specialized for generalist investors.

YCAP Partners was founded to bridge this gap. We bring institutional capital and decades of mining expertise to projects that are ready for commercialization but need the right partner to unlock their potential.

Our Mission

"To be the premier equity joint venture partner for mining projects on the path to commercialization, combining institutional capital with deep industry expertise to create lasting value for all stakeholders."
