Vision Blue Raises $650M Targeting Clean Energy Natural Resources

Vision Blue Resources, an investment fund targeting battery and technical materials, has raised more than $650 million as the company explores the metals required for energy transition.

Following strong support from specialist mining, private and large institutional investors, the proceeds were above the firm’s $500 million target.

Since its launch in 2021, Vison Blue has continued to expand its portfolio to five strategic investments in companies involved in graphite, vanadium, silicon metal, tin and rare earths.

Each of these commodities benefits from rapidly growing demand from end markets including electric vehicles, grid scale energy storage, wind and solar energy infrastructure and electronic devices.

“Since our first investment in early 2021, we have seen a growing realization amongst governments, investors, industry and others that the world is facing a major shortfall in the supply of metals and minerals needed to enable the transition to clean, low carbon energy production and usage,” said Sir Mick Davis, CEO for Vision Blue.

Vision Blue Resources’ portfolio includes NextSource Materials, Cornish Metals and Ferro-Alloy Resources.
