Private investment · Africa & the United States

Capital for the companies that keep mines running.

You know what your company could become. We bring the capital to build it: control or minority equity, for mining services, supply-chain, and equipment businesses across West, Central, and East & Southern Africa, and the United States.

01 · Control

Majority stakes, held long term

02 · Minority equity

Alongside owners who lead

01 · Approach

Two forms of capital.

1

Control

Majority stakes, held not sold, with broad-based employee ownership.

2

Minority equity

A minority stake alongside founders and owners who stay in charge.

What we buy.

In scope

  • Mining services, mining supply-chain, and mining equipment businesses
  • Founder, family, management, or employee owned, or sponsor-backed
  • Standalone divisions of larger corporates

Every company we buy either serves critical-minerals supply chains that matter to U.S. and allied industry, or generates operating data worth owning: drill logs, survey data, fleet telemetry.

  • Own or operate mines
  • Smelting or refining
  • Listed multinationals
  • State-owned companies

03 · Why now, why us

Capital built around your plans.

Mining services businesses grow by winning contracts, adding equipment, entering new markets, and buying competitors. We back those plans with control or minority equity, whichever fits what you are building.

Africa

Ten markets, from the Gulf of Guinea to the Copperbelt.

United States

A parallel pipeline, built in step.

04 · For founders

The right capital for your business.

New contracts, new markets, more equipment, an acquisition. Bring us the plan and we match the capital: control or a minority partner. In control deals we keep your company's name and your people, hold rather than sell, and your employees become co-owners. Every conversation is confidential.

What we stand on.

I.

Ownership

The people who do the work share in what it builds.

II.

Built to last

We make decisions measured in decades, not quarters.

III.

Capability at home

Skills, jobs, and know-how stay where the mines are.

IV.

Relationships first

Our word, and our partners' trust, come before any deal.

V.

Stewardship

We help founders build what they set out to build.

“A great tree is planted by one generation and tended by the generations that follow.”
