Appian says the long-term nature of its private equity funds and the flexibility of its investment mandate allow it to provide partners within the range of $50 million to $300 million, including equity, bridge loans and other forms of credit.

Appian’s current investment portfolio consists of six mines that have gone into production, including Roxgold’s Yaramoko operation in Burkina Faso and Harte Gold’s Sugar Zone project in Ontario.
