Resolution Minerals Seeks US Listing via Trump Firm

Resolution Minerals, an Australian microcap listed on the ASX, is making bold moves to increase its visibility by pursuing a potential listing in the United States with the help of a firm part-owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.

In the competitive and often overlooked world of ASX-listed microcaps, companies face significant challenges in attracting investor attention. These firms typically operate with low market capitalisation, limited liquidity, and minimal media exposure. For Resolution Minerals, a mining and exploration company, standing out meant taking an unconventional route.

According to official disclosures, Resolution Minerals has signed a deal with AGMC Global a U.S.-based consulting firm in which former President Donald Trump’s sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, are minority stakeholders. AGMC Global offers advisory services for companies exploring strategic options in the American market, including dual listings and capital raises.

The partnership signals Resolution’s intent to access U.S. capital markets and gain exposure to American investors, where appetite for speculative mining ventures can sometimes be stronger. While no formal U.S. listing has yet been completed, the engagement with AGMC suggests that Resolution is actively exploring this possibility.

Resolution’s decision to align with a politically prominent firm has raised eyebrows in some financial circles, but the company maintains that the move is strictly business-oriented. In a statement to the ASX, the company said it is “evaluating multiple strategic growth initiatives” and “seeking opportunities to enhance shareholder value.”

Analysts note that ASX microcaps often struggle with liquidity and public interest, making such partnerships a way to break through the noise. “Getting noticed on the ASX is tough for microcaps,” said a Sydney-based analyst. “Engaging a high-profile U.S. firm could offer a level of visibility that domestic promotion might not.”

Critics of the move argue that it could be seen as a publicity play, but others point out that attracting international attention is a legitimate strategy for growth-stage firms. Whether this approach results in tangible capital market success remains to be seen.

The company’s stock performance has shown only modest movement since the announcement. Still, investors and market watchers will be monitoring future filings to assess whether a U.S. listing becomes a reality.

Resolution Minerals continues to operate its exploration projects in Australia and Alaska, with its main focus on gold and copper prospects. The company is expected to provide further updates on its international strategy in the coming months.
