Graeme Hossie advises the boards of listed companies and provides confidential advisory support to individual CEOs. His practice is built on nine years of building and leading an internationally operating listed company across eight countries — in mining, infrastructure, government relations, and complex international capital markets — in conditions that produced a governance framework no textbook describes.
Primary focus: mining and natural resources. Equally relevant to: any listed or pre-listing company with international operations, frontier jurisdiction exposure, or multi-stakeholder complexity.
Board-level counsel and CEO advisory for listed and pre-listing companies operating where conditions are genuinely complex — mining, natural resources, and international businesses building across frontier environments.
London Mining PLC — built from £1m seed capital through two IPOs across eight countries.
Strategic exit to ArcelorMittal — capital allocation and value creation at the highest level.
Marampa mine — greenfield to 10% of Sierra Leone's GDP. 50,000+ lifted from poverty.
Seed to high-yield bonds, IPOs, royalties, convertibles, offtake finance — two exchanges.
Frontier markets, government relations, multi-stakeholder complexity — institutional relationships maintained throughout.
