HOW MINERALS AMERICAS NEUTRALIZES ASYMMETRIC RISK

At Minerals Americas, we understand that investors demand more than opportunity — they demand resilience. Our strategy is already structured with multi-pronged safeguards that protect capital from the moment it enters escrow to the moment investors review their returns on quarterly calls. Now, we are elevating that structure to sovereign-wealth standards.

WHAT WE DO ALREADY TO PROTECT INVESTORS

• Capital is first deposited into U.S. and Swiss-based escrow accounts (for domestic & international investors) with mirrored release instructions.

• Multiple administrators ensure no single point of control.

• Release conditions are tied only to compliance-driven onboarding, institutional audits, and capital-ready deployment.

1 DUAL ESCROW ARCHITECTURE

2 BELA-X ESCROW STRATEGY

• Investor capital is held in interest-bearing escrow accounts, keeping funds productive even before deployment.

• This unique structure (designed internally) improves optics for compliance, enhances liquidity optics, and ensures capital is not idle.

3 TIER-1 COUNTERPARTIES & OVERSIGHT

• Engagement with Big Four auditors, global administrators (Citco, Apex, Maples), and structured insurance wraps.

• Escrow funds and allocations are protected through layers of independent, regulated oversight.

4 HARD ASSET ANCHORING

5 INVESTOR TRANSPARENCY

• Upon full release of funds, capital is deployed into sites with verified NI 43-101 compliant reports.

• These reserves serve as collateral for structured financings and long-term yield generation.

• In some cases, Minerals Americas may use funds in escrow as leverage for debt financing - keeping invested capital protected, and creating favorable tax treatment of capital allocated.

• Investors receive quarterly calls and reporting showing capital status, deployed positions, and performance tracking.

• This closes the loop from initial allocation → escrow → deployment → realized returns.

SOVEREIGN-LEVEL PROTECTIONS

1. Commodity Hedge Program

   • Rolling puts and collars on gold, silver, and copper lock in revenue floors and reduce volatility.
     

2. Independent Custodianship

   • Appointment of a strategically advantageous third-party custodian of reserves and collateral.

   • Verification through SGS and Bureau Veritas ensures that reserve and asset claims remain credible and enforceable.
     

3. Liquidity & Repatriation Insurance

   • Political risk and currency coverage through MIGA (World Bank) and Lloyd’s syndicates.

   • Guarantees the ability to move profits back across borders even under adverse conditions.
     

4. Neutral Arbitration

   • Pre-selected dispute resolution in Geneva and Singapore.

   • Enforceable under globally respected arbitral institutions (ICC, SIAC).
     

5. Dynamic Allocation Mandate

   • Authority to rotate capital into U.S. Treasuries or alternative projects when commodity cycles weaken.

   • Protects yield stability while preserving optionality for upside.
     

6. Escrow Counterparty Diversification

   • Expansion of mirrored escrow arrangements across multiple administrators.

   • Ensures no single escrow officer or bank can disrupt transaction flow.

to strengthen downside protection and position Minerals Americas alongside sovereign wealth funds, we are layering in six additional safeguards:

THE INVESTOR JOURNEY: FROM ALLOCATIONS TO RETURNS

Step 1: Allocation
Investor capital enters dual escrow accounts, protected by mirrored release instructions and BELA-X interest-bearing structure.

Step 2: Deployment
Funds are disbursed under strict compliance triggers, with oversight from custodians, administrators, and auditors.

Step 3: Protection
Commodity hedges, liquidity insurance, and arbitration clauses neutralize downside asymmetrical risks.

Step 4: Performance
Capital is dynamically allocated between mineral projects and liquid instruments for stability.

Step 5: Review
Quarterly calls and transparent reporting allow investors to review performance and repatriated returns with full visibility.

By combining existing safeguards with sovereign-grade enhancements, Minerals Americas offers investors not just participation in high-value mineral markets, but a defensive fortress against asymmetrical risks.

Capital is safe, productive, and globally compliant from entry into escrow to final return, ensuring that investors are positioned favorably in both stable and volatile cycles.
