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 a mining promoter dedicated exclusively to the upstream phase of strategic mining projects, where political alignment, institutional frameworks, and long-term value creation are established. The company is built on 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 operated at the heart of the international mining arena, where strategic resources, sovereign interests, and political authority intersect. His role is defined by a rare ability to engage directly with governments, institutions, and heads of state, and to intervene at the earliest and most decisive stages of strategic mining initiatives.
WMI’s distinctive strength lies in Didier Rault’s direct access to sovereign decision-makers, enabling the negotiation of strategic and institutional frameworks at the earliest stages of project development. Through this positioning, WMI structures mining initiatives not simply as industrial ventures but as state-aligned strategic platforms, integrating political, economic, and institutional priorities from inception.
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.
