Equity Japan ~ Capital Funding Will Account For 9% Supply Of Global Tantalum.

21st December 2010 - Equity Japan, the Japanese equity investment firm, will now be responsible for approximately 9% of the global Tantalum supply due to a recent business investment partnership between the technology investment developers and their new partnership team, Malaysian based IMC Projects.

IMC Projects will be responsible for mining and supply a specified per annum supply of the rare and in demand commodity, and have received a majority investment fund from Equity Japan, who will assist with building supply chain relationships with the eventual manufacturers who are expected to be based in the Asia-Pacific region.

Equity Japan’s Co-founder and Senior partner, Mr. Kosuke Iwamasa, spoke on behalf of the Technology and Life Sciences investment firm;

“Equity Japan have made an initial contract with IMC Projects to supply a sufficient proportion of Tantalum to the manufacturing markets in our region. We have joined a competent team of mining experts, and our investment and business proficiency will develop IMC Projects into a major player in other fields of the exploration and supply of rare and sought after commodities”

IMC Projects have indicated in their initial strategic plan that there are adequate Tantalum resources to fuel the market for at least the next three years. Equity Japan will provide the necessary funding during the contract period and will use the time to explore further opportunities within the commodities market.

“The Tantalum project is our first connection with IMC Projects. Both companies share a similar vision as we aim to diversify our business practices. We will use each other’s experience and capabilities during this interim period, and work towards entering new markets where mining competencies meet technological innovation – common ground between Equity Japan and IMC Projects”.

Global Tantalum stockpiles have diminished at a rapid rate during the past five years, with an estimated 60% of annual supply being lost to mine closures in Australia, and a crackdown on illegal exports from Northern African nations.

IMC Projects are strategically and operationally primed for supplying the essential materials to the ever evolving electronic technology markets, where production trends have shifted from West to East in recent times. The Malaysian based group with mines based in Indonesia, have a history of supplying premium grade tin to the local South East Asian region.

Equity Japan will enable strong growth opportunity by immediate expansion into lucrative areas of industry and location to assist IMC Projects.
