Leadership

Antonio A. Arias, our CEO & Managing Partner,  brings a track record built across senior finance mandates, institutional capital raises, and full mine-cycle infrastructure projects with Brookfield (fka Brascan) portfolio companies and TSX/NASDAQ dual-listed issuers. His expertise spans:

Experience in the entire life stages of building a mine, from mineral discovery to advanced feasibility-stage infrastructure construction to production. Senior finance roles (CFO, CAO, Treasurer).  Financial oversight of a ~$370M mining infrastructure mandate (Westmin Resources, Brookfield portfolio); co-led a $100M institutional raise culminating in a $525M acquisition by Barrick Gold (Sutton Resources, TSX/NASDAQ). 

Following the exit sale of a gold mine to Barrick Mining in 1999, Antonio transitioned from corporate leadership to full-time entrepreneurship. Over the next decades, he built a track record in angel venture investing, founded ALAMidas Capital Partners in 2016 and pivoted to focus on the middle market.
