Who We Are
World Mining Investment SAS (WMI) is a newly established company, led by the former President of WMI LTD, a company developed for almost fifteen years. World Mining Investment SAS is focused on the upstream phase of strategic mining projects. The company's value stems from a strong human foundation, built around the profile, network, and leadership of its President, Didier Rault, and supported by a highly structured, world-class team.
Since 2009, Didier Rault has built a track record within the international mining sector, positioning him as a trusted partner across mining, institutional, and political circles, with the ability to engage directly at the highest levels.
WMI's distinctive strength lies in Didier Rault's direct access to sovereign decision-makers—his ability to establish relationships with governments, mining ministries, and heads of state, and to negotiate strategic frameworks at the earliest stages of project development. This relationship-driven approach is a core driver of value creation for the company.
Supporting this leadership, WMI draws on a highly skilled international team with deep expertise in mining, finance, legal matters, and institutional relations. This team provides the strategic insight, structure, and credibility needed to advance complex projects from their inception.
Acting as a bridge between governments and international industrial and financial partners, WMI serves as a catalyst for mining initiatives with significant geopolitical and industrial dimensions. The company is committed to tackling major challenges alongside top-tier partners capable of delivering long-term operational and financial results.
