Private Equity Funds are looking to put cash into Junior Miners

This bull market in commodities has lit a fire under junior mining stocks and private

equity groups have taken advantage of this rally and invested millions.

Pala Investments AG is one of the big players on the private equity side for junior mining companies.

Jan Castro is the managing director of Pala and founded the fund in July 2006. He is involved as a director in many junior miners.

Pala manages over $1 Billion USD and is an active buyer of junior mining stocks all over the world. In this May 5, 2010 press release, Pala announced the purchase of 10.61% of Capstone Mining Corp.

The Pala fund is located in Switzerland and it is a good place to look for capital for any mining junior with a proven reserve. Colin Murray is listed as CFO and he can be contacted at cmurray@pala.com.

Arias Resource Capital Management is another big private equity player in junior mining investment.

Just like Pala, Arias is very active in private placements in the junior mining market. On September 16, 2010; a press release was issued announcing that Arias had purchased 10.29 million common shares of Largo Resources Limited.

Alberto Arias, the CEO of Arias, sits on the board of many companies. A good example is Dia Bras Exploration.

For those who are mining in Asia and Australia, a good private equity partner is Pacific Road Capital Management.

The management at Pacific Road is very strong. They are well respected in the mining industry in Australia and worldwide.

Their investment in Bayswater Uranium (http://www.bayswateruranium.com/) gives junior miners an idea of Pacific Road's willingness to write a big cheque in order to get a good position.
