Urandaline Investments is an Australian-based consultancy specializing in capital-intensive commodity businesses.  A large part of our activity relates to China where, with the assistance of a network of local experts, we follow industries such as electricity, petro-chemicals, mining and metallurgy.
 
Most of our work is undertaken on commission for specific clients but where there is sufficient demand we also produce multi-client studies and these include China’s Aluminium Industry (four editions), and China’s Magnesium Industry (two editions). Urandaline has also collaborated in publishing China’s Infrastructure: Playing The Boom which is an extensive study on key aspects of China’s infrastructure
 
China’s Industries is an occasional newsletter published for clients and friends.  The newsletter, with a circulation of over 500, gives Urandaline an opportunity to publicize areas of special interest which could appeal to existing and potential clients.
 
Urandaline’s principal, Michael Komesaroff, has over 30 years experience of Asia’s mineral industries of which nearly 20 years was with Rio Tinto.  His last two roles in Rio Tinto were as President Rio Tinto Japan and Vice-President Strategy for the aluminium business group.  In 1997 Mr. Komesaroff was recruited by an arm of China National Nonferrous Metals Corporation to work in China.  Returning to Australia in 1999, Mr. Komesaroff established Urandaline which has now provided services to many or the world’s largest mining companies as well as investment banks and government agencies.
 
Mr Komesaroff is a frequent presenter to conferences dealing with China’s capital-intensive industries.  He is also a free-lance journalist and contributes a regular column to the China Economic Quarterly under the bye-line of Metal Man. He also contributes to other authoritative industry publications including American Metal Market, Far East Economic Review, Metal Bulletin, Metal-Pages, Metal Bulletin Monthly, Industrial Minerals, Trusted Sources and The Diplomat. Some of these presentations can be found in our library.
 
In addition to over 30 years experience in the mining industry, he has a strong understanding of public policy issues and in 2010 he was appointed as Executive in Residence at the School of International Affairs at Pennsylvania State University where he conducts seminars for graduate students on the political economy of the global mining and metals industries.
