Our Team

Macallum has the skills and experience to identify, evaluate and develop a broad range of resource opportunities and to operate in many countries. Base metals, precious metals, bulk mineral commodities, oil and gas are the principal targets but high value projects of other commodities are also assessed on an opportunistic basis. It believes that the optimum risk to reward balance is to be found near the front of the discovery to development process and that it has the experience to identify and realise project value that is under-appreciated or trapped and to do this quickly. To date Macallum has reviewed several hundred projects around the world, has made offers on a selection of these with agreements in place covering a select few of these.

Executive Management

Business Model

Rigorous review of the technical and commercial merits of investment opportunities, including political and sovereign risks. Work with trusted local partners to navigate complex regulatory and community environments. Target commodities with good long-term fundamentals, processing and marketing characteristics. Conduct business activities at all times on a basis of integrity, honesty, agility and dynamism. Apply private funds to move mineral projects through the high-risk early stages to advanced stages where significant value can be realised. Focus on mineral projects that can achieve industry lowest quartile cost metrics, should they reach production. Short to intermediate term goal of establishing self-sustaining cash flow generating businesses in various jurisdictions to underpin growth targets. Will fast track low capex-high margin mine developments. Access other funding, as required, through a wide network of financial support. Utilize many years of industry experience and contacts to bring excellence to technical and corporate project teams. Crystallise investments through a combination of re-investments, production + dividend streams, asset disposal, corporate action (mergers or IPO).
