Aldridge’s mission is to create value through acquisition, exploration and development of precious and base metal projects. For several years now, metal prices have been rising to high levels in the surge of world-wide growing economies. Exploration for precious and base metals forms the basis to satisfy the needs of the growing markets by making new discoveries. The company acquires and reviews exploration projects in early to intermediate stages, adding value via high-profile project acquisition and identification of new mineralization and resources. One way to acquire projects of significant impact on the company’s performance is cooperation in strategic alliances with larger mining houses. Such mining houses seek to explore through junior companies, granting favourable conditions in joint-projects.

In the minerals industry, there can hardly be more value added to a junior company than through exploration projects with a minable resource, yielding a significant impact on the company’s evaluation. This way, highest profits are achieved, in particular for shareholders. Aldridge protects the interests of its shareholders via step-by-step building of a solid portfolio of exploration projects, achieved in a highly cost-effective manner.

The company’s primary objective is to strive towards early production and establish cash flow to minimize shareholder dilution with new capital raisings. It has always been the current management’s philosophy to raise capital only to the amounts needed for carrying out exploration for a 12-18 month period, create value, and place new capital rounds at higher share prices. This contributed to Aldridge’s relatively low number of outstanding shares and the good performance during recent years.
