GSC launches mining advisory division, strengthening global investment capabilities

(Posted on 10/11/25)

GSC (Global Strategic Commodities) has announced the launch of its dedicated mining advisory division, expanding its footprint in high-impact sectors including mining, oil & gas, logistics, renewables, agriculture, and gold.

With deep-rooted expertise across exploration, operations, processing, and logistics, GSC delivers end-to-end M&A and investment advisory services. The firm specialises in joint ventures, capital raising, cross-border transactions, portfolio growth, and sustainable value creation — enabling clients to unlock value, scale operations, and navigate complex deals with confidence.

“Our expansion into mining reflects our mission to deliver sector-specific insights with precision and executional excellence,” said Captain Pappu Sastry, CEO of GSC. “We’re more than advisors we are strategic partners committed to long-term impact.”

Captain Sastry brings over 30 years of global leadership across shipping, logistics, and mining services, having launched ventures in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America. His vision continues to drive GSC’s growth across emerging and established markets.

GSC is currently collaborating with a group of strategic investors to establish a dedicated fund aimed at supporting the acquisition and advancement of junior mining projects. This initiative is designed to unlock value in early-stage assets, accelerate project development and bridge the funding gap that often hinders promising exploration ventures.

In renewables, GSC supports solar, biomass, and energy storage projects. Its gold advisory division offers bespoke consultancy and trade services for gold ore and Dore bars, providing clients with insights into sourcing, compliance, and market execution.

Across all sectors, GSC combines technical depth with practical execution to deliver measurable, long-term results.

GSC Core Services:

Cross-Border M&A – Managing complex deals across multiple jurisdictions

Project Evaluation & Structuring – Assessing feasibility and structuring value-driven transactions

Strategic Partnerships & Off-take Advisory – Securing growth-focused alliances
