Richard Waryn, Managing Director, said, "We are pleased to announce our Fund's first investment. The Maxut copper-nickel project offers a compelling opportunity for the Fund to acquire a majority stake in a substantially de-risked project with considerable upside potential."
In addition, the partners of RCP are aware of some minor confusion surrounding their last press release and have therefore determined to change the name of their company to Centurion Resource Group (CRG), effective immediately. CRG is neither associated nor affiliated in any way with Resource Capital Funds, another Denver based group.
