Who We Are
Founded by Didier J. Rault in 2009, World Mining Investment (WMI) is an independent firm focused on identifying and supporting high-quality projects in the mining sector worldwide. This industry often requires substantial long-term capital, which WMI provides with a measured and responsible investment philosophy.
Our interests cover essential resources — minerals that power everyday life. At the heart of our work is a commitment to contributing meaningfully to improved living standards.
WMI is led by a team of experienced professionals from both the mining and financial sectors. Each investment opportunity is assessed with discipline, care, and a thorough understanding of long-term value and associated risks.
After ceasing all activities with World Mining Investment in Hong Kong, Didier J. Rault established World Mining Investment in Paris in 2025 in order to secure critical minerals for France and Europe’s sovereignty.
