About the Company

ACG Acquisition Company is a SPAC looking to benefit from favourable price conditions for new economy metals and other mining materials.

The Company's co-sponsors are (1) ACG Mining Limited, a BVI business firm whose main shareholder is Artem Volynets, (2) De Heerd Investments Limited, a Hong Kong-based asset manager with an extensive track-record of global investments and (3) a trading entity managed by Argentem Creek Partners LP, an emerging markets specialist firm investing in special situations, private credit, high yield, and trade finance.

The Company aims to optimise its expertise in global mining by combining with a mining company that produces materials characterised by supply constraints and rising long-term demand. The combined entity will capitalise on the need for resource security and geographic supply diversification, as well as the global energy transition.

ACG's team has extensive M&A experience built through decades spent at blue-chip multinationals in the sector. The team brings a significant network, including access to many mining companies as well as a commitment to ESG principles and strong corporate governance.
