We acquire or option high-potential assets early, apply targeted technical or strategic work to unlock value, and then partner, option, or divest the moment risk transitions into leverage. By retaining meaningful equity positions in the companies that advance the projects, we compound upside across multiple assets while maintaining low operational risk.
The largest upside in the resource sector occurs at the very beginning of the value-creation curve — long before traditional investors recognize the potential. This early window is consistently overlooked because:
This creates a systemic gap where meaningful value sits unrecognized.
When technical, geological, or strategic work is applied early — before the market pays attention — an overlooked asset can be transformed into one that attracts partners or acquisition interest.
This creates a model where:
This is where Naughty Ventures operates: inside the early-discovery window the market consistently misprices.
We engineer early-stage value across multiple cycles through a repeatable, low-overhead model that amplifies upside while protecting shareholder capital.
We target overlooked mineral and energy projects at the stage where market attention is minimal, but geological or strategic indicators signal future potential. This is where risk is highest for most — but most manageable for us.
A small amount of high-impact early work can unlock significant value. This may include early geology, structural reinterpretation, strategic reframing, or improving deal visibility and corporate structure to make the asset attractive to partners.
Once risk transitions into leverage, we move; optioning the project, selling a majority interest, or retaining a meaningful equity position in the advancing company. This compounds upside across multiple assets — without heavy exploration spending.
Naughty Ventures identifies overlooked mineral and energy assets at the earliest stages—before the market recognizes their potential. Through disciplined value engineering, strategic partnerships, and equity-based structures, we leverage early discovery windows where the largest value inflection typically occurs.
Our mineral portfolio provides direct exposure to high-potential projects across critical minerals, copper–zinc systems, and rare earth elements. Each project is structured through option agreements that transfer exploration spend, drilling requirements, and milestone obligations to partners—allowing Naughty Ventures to participate in early discovery upside while maintaining a low-risk profile.
Naughty Ventures compounds value through meaningful equity positions in the companies advancing its optioned projects. As partners meet milestones—cash payments, drilling thresholds, or issued share tranches - Naughty Ventures' equity grows without dilution or operational risk.
