Gold Mine Concession

Transaction Type: Joint Venture / Majority Equity Investment / Capital Injection

Seeking a capital partner for a 10-hectare gold mining concession in Ethiopia. The transaction will be structured as a primary capital injection into the operating company in exchange for a majority equity stake. The current owner will retain a minority partnership, ensuring local expertise, compliance support, and operational continuity.

As the mandated intermediary based in Ethiopia, I am representing the seller for this transaction, and ***I can also serve as a local partner to originate and facilitate other investment opportunities within the Ethiopian mining sector.***

Opportunity Details:

Asset: A 10-hectare concession with full legal rights for gold mining.

Stage: Development-stage. While the asset lacks a formal operational track record, the region has a known history of informal and artisanal gold production, indicating proven deposits.

Legal Structure: The mining rights are held by a newly established and unencumbered legal entity, structured to facilitate a clean and straightforward investment.

Market Rationale & Context:

Recent currency liberalization in Ethiopia is actively formalizing the nation's gold trade, which was historically conducted through informal channels. This shift presents a timely opportunity to invest in and professionalize previously unofficial operations. The lack of a formal track record is a direct result of this recent market transition.

Proposed Transaction:

Structure: We are seeking a capital injection directly into the company, not a secondary sale or buyout of the current owner.

Use of Funds: Capital will be used to fund equipment acquisition, formalize operations, and scale production.

Partnership: The ideal partner will acquire a majority stake, while the founder retains a minority position to remain aligned and contribute on-the-ground operational knowledge.

Intermediary Value Proposition:

Exclusive representative for this opportunity.

On-the-ground presence in Ethiopia to assist with due diligence, introductions, and transaction execution.

Proven capacity to source and originate other mining sector deals for investors looking to establish a broader platform in the region.
