Welcome to Minara

Powering Africa’s Future from the Ground Up

Transforming Resources into Resilience

Minara is a pan-African mining development company committed to unlocking the full potential of Africa’s mineral wealth. Our mission is simple: to acquire, develop, and operate high-impact mining assets that drive sustainable growth across Sub-Saharan Africa.

We focus on long-term value creation — building responsible mining operations that deliver strong returns for investors, create meaningful opportunities for local communities, and strengthen the resilience of the regions we serve.

Through strategic partnerships, technical excellence, and a deep respect for people and the environment, Minara is shaping the future of African mining — one asset, one community, one generation at a time.

Our Vision

A New Era of African Mining

Africa is home to some of the world’s most important mineral resources. At Minara, we believe these resources should form the foundation of a shared, sustainable, and prosperous future.

Our vision is to build a responsible mining organisation that:

  • Transforms early-stage assets into high-performing operations
  • Strengthens local economies through meaningful, long-term partnerships
  • Champions transparency, sustainability, and operational integrity
  • Delivers long-term value for investors, governments, and communities

Minara stands for thoughtful, inclusive development — mining that elevates everyone it touches.

What We Do

From Opportunity to Operational Excellence

Minara specialises in identifying, developing, and scaling high-impact mining projects across Sub-Saharan Africa. We bridge the gap between untapped mineral potential and full commercial production.

Our Core Capabilities

Asset Acquisition & Development

We identify promising mineral assets with strong geological fundamentals and bring the capital, expertise, and partnerships needed to unlock their value.

Project Structuring & Technical Delivery

From exploration plans to feasibility pathways, we design clear development frameworks for efficient, responsible project execution.

Tailings Reprocessing & Resource Optimisation

We deploy modern extraction and processing methods to reclaim value from historical tailings, rejuvenating legacy mining regions.

Critical & Green Minerals Expansion

Our portfolio includes gold, copper, lithium, and other minerals essential to Africa’s industrialisation and the global energy transition.

Community-Aligned Operational Models

We work alongside governments, communities, and technical partners to ensure mining creates stability, shared value, and long-term opportunity.

Minara turns potential into performance — delivering real economic outcomes across the continent.

Responsible Mining

Mining With Integrity, For Today and Tomorrow

Responsible development is the foundation of everything we do.

Our commitment extends beyond production — it includes how we safeguard the environment, uplift communities, and build a resilient future for generations to come.

Environmental Stewardship

We prioritise low-impact operations, efficient resource use, and site rehabilitation. Tailings reprocessing plays a key role in reducing historical environmental footprints.

Community Partnership

We engage directly with local communities to ensure they benefit from jobs, training, infrastructure, and shared development outcomes.

Health, Safety & Workforce Development

Safety is non-negotiable. We invest in best practices, continuous training, and capacity-building for local teams.

Transparent Governance

Integrity guides every project. We maintain open communication with governments, partners, and stakeholders to foster trust and accountability.

At Minara, responsible mining is not a philosophy — it’s our operational standard.
