essential for the global energy transition, while remaining committed to strong
social and environmental practices and sustainable mining,” Bartolomeo said.

all of the countries it operates in. Manara Minerals brings long-term capital,
mining experience, and deep sector knowledge, and will act as a key strategic
partner in global supply chain resilience and energy transition efforts.”
