About the firm — I

An independent advisory practice purpose-built for the capital and strategic needs of the mining industry.

Mills Dunlop Capital Partners is a privately-owned investment advisory founded by capital markets veterans with two decades of experience working alongside global investment managers, family offices, and high-net-worth investors.

We bring senior-led execution to every engagement, an extensive global network of institutional capital, and the technical depth required to advise public and private miners through their most consequential decisions.

We work with one sector. We know it deeply.
