Prospect Resources Limited

Compiled from public sources

Prospect Resources Limited is a Perth-based exploration and development company focused on critical battery and electrification metals across Sub-Saharan Africa. Formally incorporated in 2007, the company spent several years developing the high-tier Arcadia Lithium Project in Zimbabwe before achieving a major trade exit via a 100% equity sale to Huayou Cobalt in April 2022 for $422 million USD. Rather than operating as an institutional alternative-investment general partner or third-party private-equity fund manager, the firm functions strictly as a public corporate asset developer. Its asset strategy focuses on utilising its corporate balance-sheet liquidity and strategic technical team to drill out, de-risk, and commercialise greenfield and brownfield critical mineral targets, primarily advancing its cornerstone Mumbezhi Copper Project in the Zambian Copperbelt alongside regional lithium exploration targets.
