Haynes Boone guided Power Metal Resources PLC (AIM:POW, OTCQB:POWMF), a London-listed mining exploration company focused on global resource projects, on its binding investment agreement to acquire up to 49 percent of Kingia FZCO, a Dubai free-zone company that will be renamed Minestarters.
Minestarters will create an institutional-grade blockchain-enabled decentralized finance (DeFi) platform to tokenize real-world assets in early-stage mining. Through the issuance of tokens, the platform will provide global investors with liquid access to a curated portfolio of mining exploration and development projects.
Haynes Boone London Office Co-Managing Partner Nick Davis led the deal team with assistance from Counsel Natalie Georgiou.
“It was a pleasure as always to work with the Haynes Boone team in London,” Power Metal Resources CEO Sean Wade said. “Nick and Natalie take a very commercial and client-centred approach to transactions, which they combine with an impressive ability to demystify a lot of necessary legal process and language for non-lawyers. I would have no hesitation in using them again for our next transaction.”
This is yet another deal for an AIM-listed company by the Haynes Boone London corporate team after the firm was featured in The Lawyer for adding 15 AIM-listed clients in the last quarter, which follows the firm’s strong debut in ARL’s Q2 2025 AIM Advisers Rankings Guide that showed Haynes Boone third overall among U.S.-based firms in total AIM-listed clients and first overall for U.S. firms serving technology and basic materials clients.
