Landmark
Group invests in and manages natural resources projects in Russia and
Africa. The company, chaired by Doron Biran, has gained a highly
successful track record with oil and iron ore projects in both regions.
At
Landmark natural resources project usually begins with finding the best
location – one that holds the natural resource, is close enough (or
accessible enough) to prospective industrial organizations that can use
it, and has yet to realize its potential. The next step is the
exploration of the infrastructure and transport options available at the
location – in some cases, a local infrastructure exists, though it
needs to be developed to maximize the location’s potential. Such
infrastructure can be a local, government-owned mining company; Landmark
has collaborated with governments in investing and developing such
companies.
After
performing the initial exploration process, an extensive evaluation of
the site and its potential takes place. The company’s experienced,
well-connected team of managers prepares a plan for investment in the
site, and the end result is a natural-resources project with far higher
revenue than before.
Landmark
Group’s work on natural resources projects has proven itself beneficial
for investors and countries alike, pushing forward local development
and giving the company a “first mover” advantage in many locations.
