White & Case advises International Resources Holding on acquisition of 56 percent interest in Alphamin Resources Corp. from Tremont Master Holdings

Global law firm White & Case LLP has advised International Resources Holding (IRH), the mining investment arm of Abu Dhabi’s International Holding Company, on its acquisition of 56 percent of the shares in Alphamin Resources Corp. (Alphamin) from Tremont Master Holdings, a subsidiary of US private equity group Denham Capital.

“This transaction represents another important milestone in IRH’s strategy of acquiring high quality, long-life mining assets across the globe with strong growth potential, further strengthening its position as a key player in the global industrial metals sector,” said White & Case partner Roger Gaspard, who co-led the Firm’s deal team. “The deal also follows our role advising IRH on last year’s landmark acquisition of Mopani Copper Mines in Zambia.”

Alphamin, dual listed on the Toronto and Johannesburg stock exchanges, is one of the world’s largest and highest-grade tin producers, operating the Bisie Mine in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

The White & Case team which advised on the transaction was led by partners Marcus Booth (Dubai & London) and Roger Gaspard (Dubai) and included partners Fraser Galloway (Abu Dhabi), Sonica Tolani, Will Lund, James Hardy (all London), Tiaan De Wit (Johannesburg) and Tamer Nagy (Washington, DC), counsel Catherine West (London) and associates Chris Thorn, Tigran Saakyan, Usman Malik, Charles Tuckwell, Sahal Suleman (all Dubai), Joao Lacerda (London & Brussels) and Monica Shah (London).
