Inside Key Mining’s $303M deal with Compass Digital Acquisition Corp.

Titanium, copper and water. What do they have in common? All will be products of one of the latest companies to head to the public markets via a SPAC transaction. This week, we speak with Key Mining founders Cesar Lopez and John Ryan as well as Compass Digital Acquisition Corp. CEO Tom Hennessy to break down their $303 million business combination. Cesar and John discuss how they brought together a signature titanium mining project in Chile with a water desalination project that is set to support it. They lay out why they are combining these two assets with a copper project in Arizona and how both stand to benefit from the critical metals incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act. Tom explains how this company fits in his growing family of SPAC transactions and what the roadmap ahead looks like for it beyond close and the listing this deal brings.
