Every decision at Mooney Group is guided by unwavering integrity. We invest with complete transparency, ethical rigor, and a long-term vision that builds trust with partners, communities, and stakeholders across the value chain.
Value-Added Production
We partner exclusively with companies that transform raw resources into essential materials powering the 21st century economy. Our focus extends beyond extraction to refinement, processing, and vertical integration.
Capability Over Capacity
Unlike competitors chasing sheer volume, we prioritize production capability—investing in sustainable, efficient operations that deliver real impact, operational resilience, and consistent quality output that meets exacting specifications.
Our disciplined approach to mining investment emphasizes operational excellence, environmental stewardship, and creating lasting value. We believe the future belongs to those who can reliably deliver critical materials at scale while maintaining the highest standards of corporate responsibility and technical expertise.
Strategic Focus
Critical Minerals, Precious Metals & Mining Excellence
The Foundation of Tomorrow
Critical minerals and strategic metals are the backbone of clean energy, advanced technology, and national security. These materials enable electric vehicles, renewable energy infrastructure, defense systems, and telecommunications networks that define modern civilization.
Mooney Group works on a global basis securing these vital resources through strategic investments in geologically superior assets and operationally excellent mining companies.
Mooney Group's portfolio includes domestic and international mining assets and value-added processing facilities with a mineral portfolio including critical minerals, base metals, precious metals, and industrial minerals.
Built On a Career of Success
Prior to founding Mooney Group, James Mooney founded Outokumpu-Mooney Group (OM Group Inc.) building it from $5M to $4.5B, strategically creating a Fortune 500 Company (331) that was listed on the NYSE (OMG). OMG was the largest global market share player in Cobalt (42%), fifth largest Nickel refiner, second largest secondary refiner of precious metals, and third largest PGM auto catalyst producer. OMG had 48 operating facilities throughout the world in over 20 countries, with its strongest presence in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Finland. OMG mined and refined its metals as well as created and produced value-added metal-based specialty chemicals and powders, which commanded higher values per pound over the base metal price. OMG was also the global leader in battery support products.
Geological Excellence
Our portfolio emphasizes precious metals and mining assets that combine exceptional geological potential with proven reserves and favorable metallurgy.
De-Risked Supply Chains
We leverage deep industry expertise and disciplined capital allocation to build geopolitically secure supply chains positioned outside areas of strategic vulnerability.
Meeting Global Demand
Our investments address accelerating worldwide demand for sustainable materials, positioning us at the intersection of economic growth and environmental responsibility.
"By investing in production capability, not capacity, we aim to be a small portion of the total cost of production, but critical to performance. This drives our innovation, economic growth, and security."
