NQ Minerals is an Australian mining company, which claims to be focused on the environmental rehabilitation of former precious metal mining operations and the sustainable extraction of minerals required for clean energy and a low carbon economy. Headquartered in Australia, NQ Minerals aimed to deliver innovative solutions in the mining industry while prioritising environmental sustainability.
It presented itself as an opportunity for investors to contribute to a greener future while potentially reaping financial rewards. However, the reality has been far from what was promised.
In August 2021, the collapse of NQ Minerals was marked by a unanimous decision to enter administration, following a unanimous vote by its directors. Joint administrators from Begbies Traynor were appointed to oversee the administration process and safeguard the interests of all stakeholders.
This proactive decision was said to be the best available option to protect the company’s assets, address financial challenges and protect the interests of all stakeholders involved. Unfortunately, it quickly became apparent that the company's debt significantly outweighed its assets, leaving investors in a precarious situation.
Investors who entrusted their funds to NQ Minerals through their Pension, an ISA, or General Investment Account (GIA) may have concerns about the accuracy of asset-backed investment claims. It is important to note that neither NQ Minerals PLC nor its investment products were regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Consequently, claims against NQ Minerals are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
However, if you invested through an FCA-regulated firm, there may still be potential avenues for compensation through the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) or other compensation schemes.

One of the critical aspects that exacerbate the issue is that neither NQ Minerals PLC nor its investment products were regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This means that claims against NQ Minerals are not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), which acts as a safety net for investors in regulated investments.
However, there might still be avenues for seeking compensation if you invested through an FCA-regulated firm.
