Invest in Congolese mining services
Finance subcontractors who already hold contracts, without owning a mining permit.
Why the DRC, why services
The Democratic Republic of Congo is the world’s leading cobalt producer and one of the largest copper producers. Both metals are central to the energy transition.
Around every mine, a chain of subcontractors handles earthworks, hauling, transport and maintenance. Investing at this level means financing activity backed by identified contracts.
- No. 1
- cobalt producer worldwide
- 1911
- first copper produced in Katanga
- 2017
- subcontracting law favoring Congolese companies
Three ways to take part
Equipment mobilization
- What is financed
- Trucks, earthmoving machines and gear needed to start a contract.
- How it works
- Equipment is bought or leased for the site. Repayment and returns come from contract revenue, on the schedule set in the agreement.
- Watch points
- Machine availability and maintenance, resale value, delivery logistics.
Working capital
- What is financed
- Wages, fuel, parts and maintenance between doing the work and getting invoices paid.
- How it works
- An advance covers the cash gap and is repaid as the client settles invoices.
- Watch points
- Client payment delays, reliance on a single client.
Contract execution
- What is financed
- Overall financing of a contract already won by a local company.
- How it works
- Investor and operator share contract revenue according to a key set in the agreement, after agreed costs are covered.
- Watch points
- Operating performance, contract amendments or termination, site security.
