Mining and Metals

The mining and metals industry plays a crucial role in social and technological progress.  LPA team is able to empathise with the requirements and priorities of both landowners and the operators that are seeking to extract minerals and aggregates from their land. The team also appreciates that each client in the mining, minerals, quarrying and land resources sector faces increasingly complex legal issues. By aligning everything we do to our customers’ goals, we help achieve operational and performance excellence.
The variety of ways investors may purchase and hold mineral investments has supported their investment popularity and made minerals investments available to more members of the public via mutual funds and precious metals shares.
