Red Rock Resources (AIM:RRR) is a natural resource development company with an international portfolio of projects and investments spanning both the mining and minerals and oil and gas sectors. The firm aims to add value through development during all phases of the commodity cycle.

Among Red Rock’s key interests is a long-standing stake in ASX-listed manganese producer Jupiter Mines, part-owner of the Tshipi Borwa open-pit manganese mine in South Africa’s Kalahari Basin. The asset, which is one of the largest of its kind in the world with a 432Mt resource base - has more than doubled its production and export volumes to over 3Mt of manganese ore annually.

Red Rock also owns a 50.1pc interest in a DRC-focused joint venture called VUP, which holds three copper and cobalt prospective exploration licences in the Katanga segment of the Central African Copperbelt. Among the prospects contained within these licences is Musonoi, which covers part of the ‘Musonoi Super Deposit’ in a district called the Kolwezi Klippe that supplies a large portion of the world’s cobalt.

Elsewhere, Red Rock is the 100pc owner of the Migori gold project in Kenya. The asset contains an initial 1.2Moz gold resource at 1.3g/t over five areas within its Mikei shear zone, along with significant upside opportunity.
