Kinterra Capital raises US$950M Fund II, buys Arizona copper asset to scale critical minerals platform

Kinterra Capital completed an oversubscribed second vehicle, securing US$950 million in commitments and closing at its hard cap after launching the raise in the first quarter of 2025. Investor demand pushed the fund past its initial target of US$850 million, allowing Kinterra to maintain a control-oriented investment approach focused on strategic raw materials and related infrastructure. The firm moved quickly from close to deployment, announcing a fourth-quarter 2025 acquisition of the Antler Copper Project, a brownfield, high-grade underground copper asset in Arizona. That purchase expands Kinterra’s U.S. position to approximately 14 billion pounds of copper resources, a material increase to its portfolio holdings.

• Fund Size Closed: US$950 million.
• Original Target: US$850 million.
• Acquisition Timing: Q4 2025.
• Copper Resources Controlled (U.S.): ~14 billion pounds.

Kinterra frames the fund as an opportunity to back assets critical to the energy transition and supply-chain resilience, prioritizing jurisdictions it classifies as Tier-1. The firm emphasized an active ownership model combining capital with in-house technical and transaction teams to de-risk development pathways and unlock value in complex situations. Placement advisory and legal support for the raise were provided by Metric Point Capital and Latham & Watkins LLP, respectively, indicating institutional-level structuring. For investors, the rapid close and immediate deployment signal both appetite for critical-minerals exposure and Kinterra’s ability to convert commitments into near-term asset control.
