EPointZero and IRH sign MOU to decarbonise mining operations
EPointZero, the decarbonisation platform of 2PointZero, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with International Resources Holding (IRH), a mine-to-market platform and subsidiary of 2PointZero, to jointly advance the full decarbonisation of IRH's global mining operations.
The MOU was signed by Mohamed Hesham, group chief investment officer of 2PointZero, and Ali AlRashdi, CEO of International Resources Holding, during the Make it in the Emirates event.
The agreement targets the decarbonisation of IRH's operations, beginning with the Mopani Copper Mines in Zambia, in which IRH acquired a 51% stake in March last year.
EPointZero and IRH will establish a joint taskforce to implement decarbonisation measures, starting with a comprehensive carbon baseline assessment.
The goal is to create a phased road map towards net-zero operations, encompassing all aspects of mining, smelting, logistics and auxiliary services.
2PointZero's group CEO Mariam Almheiri said: 'Decarbonising legacy sectors requires more than capital, it takes alignment, execution and a clear view of the future. This collaboration demonstrates how our dynamic value network enables exactly that, connecting capabilities across our portfolio to unlock real transformation.
'By aligning renewable energy, technology and resources, we are not only accelerating low-carbon mining, we are advancing our mission to build smarter, more sustainable industrial systems for the future.'
The partnership will leverage EPointZero's renewable energy access, advanced storage infrastructure and AI analytics to expedite decarbonisation and improve operational efficiency.
The decarbonisation strategy will focus on energy consumption and broader operational efficiencies including fleet electrification, waste reduction and AI-driven resource management.
The initial phase will integrate on-site renewable energy and intelligent infrastructure to minimise environmental impact.
AlRashdi said: 'Zambia is a strategic hub for IRH, and Mopani represents a cornerstone of our commitment to building a modern, competitive mining platform in Africa. This partnership reflects our mandate to integrate decarbonisation into our operations from day one and set a new benchmark for sustainability in resource development.'
Both companies are also exploring sustainable practices such as water reuse, waste minimisation and responsible sourcing.
These efforts support Zambia's long-term development goals and aim to establish a new standard for responsible mining in the region.

IRH to buy Tremont's majority interest in Alphamin Resources
International Resources Holding (IRH) has agreed to acquire a majority interest in Alphamin Resources, a significant move that will bolster the former's position in the global industrial metals sector. The transaction involves IRH, through a wholly owned subsidiary, purchasing approximately 56% of Alphamin's outstanding common shares from Tremont Master Holdings. Under the agreement, IRH will acquire 718,990,967 common shares owned by Tremont at a price of C$0.70 per share, amounting to a total consideration of C$503.3m ($367m), subject to adjustments. The closing of the transaction is contingent on regulatory and internal corporate approvals. IRH CEO Ali Alrashdi said: 'Alphamin's strong production profile aligns with our strategy of securing interests in high-quality mining assets with long-term growth potential.' Once complete, IRH will hold a commanding 56% of Alphamin's outstanding common shares, marking its entry as a major shareholder in the company. Prior to this agreement, IRH did not own any common shares in Alphamin. Post-transaction, Tremont will retain a minimal stake of approximately 0.8% in Alphamin, holding 10,133,592 common shares. The acquisition is due to be executed via a block trade on a stock exchange, adhering to the "private agreement exemption" under National Instrument 62-104 – Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids, with a share price not exceeding 115% of the market price. Tremont Master Holdings chairman Rob Still said: 'Following Tremont's 12-year history in exploring, evaluating and then building and operating the Bisie mine, we are now pleased to transfer our ownership stake to another long-term investor who shares our vision for the operation and our commitment to the region.' This development follows reports in November last year that IRH was in discussions to purchase an indirect stake in Alphamin Resources. Denham Capital, the private equity firm owning 57% of Alphamin, has been exploring the creation of a new vehicle to hold this stake, drawing interest from various potential investors including IRH.
