Private Equity Investment in Mining Subcontractors within the Central African Copperbelt

Our fund targets the dynamic and high-potential subcontracting companies that are pivotal to the mining sector's success, particularly in the extraction and processing of critical battery metals like copper and cobalt.

Fund Vision: Our vision is to empower local subcontracting companies, drive sustainable growth, and generate substantial returns for our investors by leveraging the unique market dynamics and untapped potential of the Central African mining industry.

Investment Thesis: The Central African Copperbelt, which includes regions in Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is one of the most resource-rich areas globally, crucial for meeting the escalating global demand for copper and cobalt. These metals are integral to the rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) market and renewable energy technologies.

Our investment thesis focuses on:

• High Growth Potential: The rising demand for battery metals presents a significant growth opportunity for subcontracting services essential to mining operations.
• Operational Efficiency: Subcontractors offer specialized skills and services that enhance the efficiency and scalability of mining projects.
• Economic Impact: Investing in locally owned subcontracting companies promotes economic empowerment and inclusive growth in the region.

Key Roles of Local Subcontracting Companies:

• Specialized Expertise: Providing critical services such as exploration, drilling, blasting, maintenance, and environmental management.
• Flexibility: Offering scalable solutions that adapt to the varying demands of mining operations.
• Local Knowledge: Leveraging regional expertise and cultural understanding to improve operational effectiveness.
