Lion Selection Group

Lion Selection Group was founded in 1997 to invest in the broad but poorly understood sub-sector of mining - junior resources companies. The name Lion Selection Group Limited was chosen as a name to reflect the culture and philosophy of the organisation: Lion - watchful, aggressive and searching. Selection - carefully picking opportunities and people and backing them. Inspiration was taken partly from a highly successful mining development company named Selection Trust Ltd, which was formed in London by Chester Beatty at the start of the 20th century when technology assisted mining to grow on a global scale for the first time. The breakdown of geographical barriers and the easing of political structures in the late 20th century followed by the emergence of the Chinese economy in the early 21st century has provided a similar opportunity. Lion Selection Group invests on similar principles as Chester Beatty's Selection Trust, setting a high standard for project selection from the universe of global opportunities, combined with highly skilled, experienced and motivated people. Over a history spanning more than 15 years, Lion Selection Group has produced substantial returns to shareholders, totalling more than $3.20/share (on top of the value of a Lion share).
