The Laakso PGE nickel-copper project is located in Finland.

General European Strategic Investments owns a 49% non-controlling interest in ColdPro, a waste management firm operating in the UK. The company owns 1 of 6 licensed treatment facilities in the UK which puts it in direct competition with some of Europe's largest waste management and metal recycling companies. ColdPro operates across the entire waste management chain collecting, treating, processing, separating and reselling reusable, recyclables and commodities like metals and refrigerators. ColdPro is one of only 3 licensed UK handlers of old refrigerators and refrigeration equipment and is of systemic importance to the region.
The Transcarpathian Gold Project is focused on the Carpathian region of western Ukraine. This region is largely unexplored by modern standards and a part of a key eastern European Gold Belt. There are roughly 20 gold-bearing properties in the region containing an estimated 30 million ounces of gold worth roughly $54 billion with gold at $1800. As of October 2022, the company was in the process of obtaining licenses from the government of Ukraine.
General European Strategic Investments also owns an 80% interest in a talc-soapstone mine in the Slovak Republic. The mining operations were nationalized, however, and are in dispute at this time.
