Every title verification is conducted in-country by our local legal partners, directly with the issuing government authority. We do not rely on documents provided by the seller. For sellers, we conduct a full background check on all directors and beneficial owners across relevant jurisdictions. This process typically takes 5–10 working days depending on the country.

We work with both. Our clients include institutional investors, family offices, private equity funds, commodity trading houses, individual high-net-worth investors, mining operators of all scales, refineries, and government agencies. The minimum engagement is typically a one-off due diligence or market intelligence report. There is no minimum investment size requirement to engage us.

Our fees are structured by engagement type. Due diligence reports and market intelligence briefs are priced on a fixed-fee basis. Transaction facilitation engagements are structured as a retainer plus a success fee tied to deal completion. Government relations and ongoing advisory retainers are priced monthly. We provide a clear fee proposal before any engagement begins - there are no hidden costs.

Timelines vary significantly by transaction type and country. A straightforward gold export facilitation in Kenya or Uganda can be completed in 3–6 weeks. A full investment due diligence report typically takes 3–4 weeks. A complex cross-border acquisition or off-take agreement may take 3–6 months from initial mandate to closing. We provide milestone timelines at the outset of every engagement.

Yes. East African gold export - including dore export from Kenya and Uganda - is one of our core practice areas. We navigate the full process: mining export licence, assay certification, Central Bank or Mining Directorate clearance, KYC/AML documentation, royalty settlement, customs clearance, and secure logistics to the destination refinery or buyer. We have completed this process dozens of times across both jurisdictions.

Yes. Full OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas compliance is standard in every engagement we conduct. We produce chain-of-custody documentation, conflict-free attestation, and source verification in the format required by LBMA, DMCC, and international refinery compliance teams.

Absolutely. All enquiries, mandates, and client information are treated with strict confidentiality. We sign non-disclosure agreements at the outset of every engagement. We never disclose client identities, investment mandates, or transaction details to any third party without explicit written consent. Our reputation across three decades of African mineral markets depends entirely on the trust our clients place in us.
