India retroactively changed its mining laws, effectively expropriating Panthera's 1.74 Moz Bhukia Gold Project. The same ground was then auctioned for a reported $60M upfront plus $60M in guarantees and 65% royalties.
The claim operates under bilateral investment treaty protection — binding international law enforceable through the New York Convention.
The company has four gold projects in West Africa, two of which have reported JORC resources.
Funding committed by LCM Funding SG Pty Ltd — a subsidiary of AIM-listed Litigation Capital Management, one of the world's leading institutional financiers of international arbitration.

Panthera Resources PLC was incorporated in England and Wales on 8 September 2017 as the holding company for Indo Gold Pty Ltd — an Australian-registered subsidiary whose principal asset is the Bhukia Gold Project in Rajasthan, India. In May 2025 IGPL filed its Memorial seeking US$1.58 billion in damages from the Republic of India under the 1999 Australia–India Bilateral Investment Treaty. An active gold exploration portfolio across Mali and Burkina Faso runs alongside the case.
Decades of combined experience across resource exploration, project finance, and complex emerging-market legal matters.

The Bhukia project comprises legal rights Panthera holds through its Australian subsidiary Indo Gold Pty Ltd (IGPL) in respect of an area that was the subject of a rejected Prospecting Licence Application in Rajasthan lodged by Metal Mining Pvt Ltd (MMI), a wholly owned subsidiary of IGPL.
IGPL's initial investment in Bhukia dates to circa 2004. Substantial funding and management of joint-venture exploration programmes followed. IGPL alleges that its right to be granted a Prospecting Licence — through its joint venture holding — was denied and frustrated over an extended period by the Government of Rajasthan.
In 2021, India passed the MMDR2021 Act amending the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act of 2015. Under Clause 13 of MMDR2021, the preferential right to a Prospecting Licence and Mining Lease was revoked.
IGPL's claim is brought under the 1999 Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of India on the Promotion and Protection of Investments (the "Treaty"). On 19 May 2025 the Memorial was filed in accordance with the order of the arbitral panel, including a claim for damages of US$1.58 billion, net of Indian taxes.

Information provided in accordance with AIM Rule 26, last updated 20 May 2025.
Panthera Resources PLC ("Panthera" or "the Company") is a UK-registered company, established to act as a holding company for Indo Gold Pty Ltd, an unlisted Australian-registered company. The Company aims to explore and develop gold assets in India and West Africa.
In India, the Company's principal focus is seeking redress over the failure of the governments of India and Rajasthan to grant a Prospecting Licence over the advanced-stage Bhukia gold exploration project, while continuing to add value to its West African gold portfolio.
The Company believes the actions taken by these governments and the High Court of Rajasthan resulted in an act of expropriation, with the Government of India breaching its obligations under the 1999 Australia–India Bilateral Investment Treaty — including a failure to accord fair and equitable treatment.
On 2 January 2024 the Company announced that IGPL had submitted a Notice of Dispute with the Government of India, followed by a Notice of Arbitration on 26 July 2024. The Memorial including Statement of Claim was filed on 19 May 2025 in the amount of US$1.58 billion, net of Indian taxes.
In West Africa, the Group holds four gold exploration projects in Mali and Burkina Faso. The Company continues to advance the potential restructuring of its interest in these West African gold assets.
