About Norvista
Norvista is a resource based merchant bank that began operations and was listed for trading on the TSXV in June of 2014. Norvista’s strategy over the last two years has been to capitalize on the significant asset value contraction that occurred after the collapse of the metals super cycle by making core portfolio investments and to leverage the recovery that is now occuring in selective commodity prices. Norvista focuses its efforts on the pursuit of highly prospective exploration projects while balancing exploration risk through investment in small to mid-scale, pre-production, opportunities requiring partial or full completion of feasibility studies. Norvista takes a proactive role with its investee companies and in the majority of cases assumes management or advisory roles and/or seats on the board of directors of these companies. Management is of the view that current market conditions allow Norvista to significantly mitigate political and country risk by pursuing investments in some of the world’s top ranked mining jurisdictions.
