On paper its exactly the kind of asset most mid-tier miners say they want. Private equity continues to snap up these types of mid-tier assets. Resource Capital Funds is taking the long view here. Patient capital. Comfortable underwriting development risk in exchange for upside that listed producers cant currently justify. The structure tells the real story roughly US$45 million upfront."

"Not all oil is created equal🛢 Venezuela holds the largest reserves on paper. But its barrels are ultra-heavy high-sulfur and expensive to move and process.
