About the Company

 

ACG Acquisition Company Limited is a SPAC looking to benefit from favourable
price conditions for new economy metals and other mining materials.

 

The Company aims to optimise its expertise in global mining by combining with
a mining company that produces materials characterised by supply constraints
and rising long-term demand. The combined entity will capitalise on the need
for resource security and geographic supply diversification, as well as the
global energy transition.

 

ACG's team has extensive M&A experience built through decades spent at
blue-chip multinationals in the sector. The team brings a significant network,
including access to many mining companies as well as a commitment to ESG
principles and strong corporate governance.
