What we do

The issue

The global race to secure critical minerals has intensified as nations and industries seek to future-proof their economies against supply chain vulnerabilities and shifting geopolitical dynamics. Despite soaring demand, access to key resources remains constrained by underdeveloped infrastructure, regulatory complexity, and a lack of investment in sustainable extraction and processing. Many resource-rich regions face systemic barriers that prevent them from fully capitalising on their potential—leaving critical gaps in global supply.

At the same time, the energy transition has created an urgent need for ethically sourced, environmentally responsible raw materials to support decarbonization goals. Without significant private sector engagement and forward-thinking partnerships, the world risks falling short of both climate targets and economic resilience. Addressing this issue requires more than capital—it demands long-term vision, on-the-ground presence, and a deep understanding of the evolving global resource landscape.

How we help

Affinity Capital Group partners with innovative explorers, developers, operators, governments, and strategic stakeholders to unlock the full potential of critical mineral and natural resource assets.

We provide capital, strategic advisory, and cross-border transaction expertise to help navigate complex regulatory landscapes, secure funding, and accelerate project development. Our deep understanding of both resource markets and emerging global demand positions us to identify high-impact opportunities that align with future-facing industrial and energy needs.

By leveraging our extensive networks and disciplined investment approach, we aim to create value that is both commercially robust and socially responsible. Whether supporting early-stage exploration, infrastructure development, or downstream processing, Affinity Capital Group is committed to building resilient supply chains and contributing to a more sustainable and secure global resource ecosystem.

Sector analysis

  • Surging Demand: Global demand for critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt, and rare earths is expected to grow 4–6x by 2040, driven by electric vehicles, energy storage, and clean technologies.
  • Supply Chain Vulnerabilities: Concentrated production and geopolitical tensions are exposing weaknesses in global supply chains, prompting a push for regional diversification and onshore processing.
  • Technological Shifts: Advances in mineral processing, recycling, and substitution technologies are reshaping long-term demand profiles and investment strategies in the sector.

Other core themes

Indigenous Engagement and Regional Development

True prosperity is shared prosperity. At Affinity Capital Group, we believe that inclusive economic growth must actively support the voices, leadership, and self-determination of Indigenous peoples—particularly in the regions where so much of Australia’s future potential lies.

Our approach to regional development is grounded in partnership. We work with Traditional Owners, Indigenous corporations, and regional stakeholders to co-create projects that deliver lasting benefit—culturally, socially, and economically. Whether in natural resources, water infrastructure, agriculture, or impact investment, we aim to ensure First Nations communities are not only included, but empowered, in the growth story.

Infrastructure and Sovereign Capability

Infrastructure is the backbone of our economy and society, driving prosperity and quality of life. It supports everything from daily commutes, powering our lives, communication to essential services like healthcare and education. Sovereign capability ensures that we can maintain this quality of life, even in the face of disruptions such as economic shocks, policy changes, natural disasters or pandemics. By strengthening our infrastructure and sovereign capabilities, we improve society today and safeguard our future against unforeseen challenges.

Infrastructure and Sovereign Capability

Food and Water Security

At the core of global stability and economic development lies secure and equitable access to food and water.

Enhancing agricultural efficiency and implementing sustainable water management practices are essential to supporting human wellbeing, protecting environmental systems, and driving long-term economic growth. It is also fundamental to efficient industrial development and operations.

By developing reliable and scalable solutions across these sectors, we can empower remote communities, strengthen key industries, and help ensure that humanity has access to the resources it needs to thrive.

We believe technological innovation—particularly in precision agriculture, water treatment and development, and resource monitoring—will be critical to doing more with less. These innovations are unlocking value, building resilience, and enabling sustainable progress across both developed and emerging regions.
