🗽 New Deals
Two new deals were added to the Altea space this morning. They’re both time-sensitive, so get stuck in if they float your boat.

This one is not only member-submitted; it’s also member-run. Altean Travis Jamison recently launched CapitalPad, which is chock full of PE deals like this.
The acquisition target is shielded (though it’s easy to figure out), and you’ll need to sign an NDA to access the deal fully.
👉 Express interest here to do that.

⚒️ Copper Creek Mine | Closes ASAP | 15% IRR
A month or two ago, we looked into a rare earth metal mine in Sri Lanka, and while I loved it, the deal presented too many uncertainties and was just too far outside my comfort zone.
This one may be different: Copper Creek Mine is as straightforward as a mining deal gets.
And it fits in with the WTF is going on with America? Let’s invest internationally ASAP thesis.
But timeframes are tight, so please be quick if you want to get involved.
