Deutsche Rohstoff AG operates as a holding and operating company focused on the development of natural resources, with its principal business being the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas. The company's business model centers on identifying, acquiring, and developing resource assets, primarily in the United States. Through its US-based subsidiaries, Deutsche Rohstoff operates producing wells in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin in Colorado, the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, and assets in Utah. The sale of crude oil and natural gas from these North American operations accounts for the vast majority of the company's revenue, which reached EUR 235.4 million in 2024.
In addition to its core energy production business, Deutsche Rohstoff diversifies its portfolio through strategic investments in the mining sector. The company holds interests in precious metals and critical high-tech battery metals, such as lithium and tungsten, with projects located in Australia and Europe. These mining investments are typically managed as minority stakes or joint ventures, providing exposure to the growing demand for strategic metals while the US oil and gas operations generate the primary cash flow. The company leverages a holding-company structure, combining direct operational control of its energy assets with strategic capital allocation to early-stage resource projects.
