History of the name
The name Lion Selection Limited (and its predecessor Lion Selection Group Limited) was chosen as a name to reflect the culture and philosophy of the organisation:
Lion – watchful, aggressive and searching.
Selection – carefully picking opportunities and people and backing them.
A highly successful mining development company named Selection Trust Ltd was formed in London by Chester Beatty at the start of the 20th century when technology assisted mining to grow on a global scale for the first time. The breakdown of geographical barriers and the easing of political structures has provided a second opportunity for such an enterprise at the start of the 21st century.
Lion Selection Limited is well placed to emulate the success of Selection Trust with the goal of establishing a new mining house based on its existing investments and operation combined with its internationally competitive resources expertise.
