Prospect Resources was announced the winner of the 2019 Investment Battlefield for their lithium project located in Zimbabwe.
Executive Director Harry Greaves accepted the award after pitching the project to a panel of judges made up of 25 leading analysts and investors. “The Arcadia Lithium Project represents Prospect’s flagship project. It is one of two mines in the world who can supply the highly profitable ceramics industry.”
Prospect Resources was selected as the most promising of 22 junior mining companies who participated in the battlefield, which included explorers and developers in battery metals, bulk and base metals, precious metals, and energy minerals. The competition is open to mining companies with a market capital of $50 million or below.
The runner up is Orion Minerals for their Prieska Zinc Copper Project, located in the Northern Cape, in one of the most prospective base metals districts in the world.
Richard Crookes, Investment Director at EMR Capital and one of the judges had this to say about the competition: “We think it is a fantastic concept, the whole shark tank idea is brilliant, I really enjoy judging and I think the audience enjoys the interaction”.
