Paloma Acquisition Corp I
A Special Purpose Acquisition Company
Strategic Metals Focus
Paloma Acquisition Corp I is a Special Purpose Acquisition Company focused on the acquisition and consolidation of high-quality assets within the gold and precious metals sector. Our investment approach prioritizes operating businesses and advanced-stage projects located in highly stable, pro-mining jurisdictions with established regulatory frameworks.
We focus exclusively on regions that offer a deep pipeline of well-understood, de-risked assets, including North America (United States and Canada), Australia, and New Zealand.
Through disciplined asset selection across gold, silver, and copper, Paloma seeks to build a diversified portfolio aligned with both the enduring fundamentals of precious metals and the growing strategic importance of a secure, domestic supply of critical minerals in the United States.
Gold
Targeting high-quality gold assets located in tier-one mining jurisdictions characterized by political stability, transparent permitting regimes, and well-established mining infrastructure. Emphasis is placed on assets with favorable cost structures, operational scalability, and long-term production visibility.
Silver
Focused on silver assets with strong geological fundamentals and clear pathways to production, located in jurisdictions with supportive mining frameworks. Silver’s dual role as a precious metal and an essential industrial input positions it as a complementary component within a diversified metals portfolio.
Copper
Selectively evaluating co-existing copper assets in stable, mining-friendly regions that support the long-term development of critical mineral infrastructure. Priority is given to projects with defined resources, established permitting pathways, and strategic relevance to North American industrial and electrification trends.
