Mining & Natural Resources

The world’s transition to a low-carbon economy will require six times more critical minerals by 2040 than it consumes today. Virtually all of those minerals are found in abundance beneath the soil of Africa. GTH Sarl’s strategic roadmap targets direct investment in African mineral assets — from exploration-stage licence acquisition to development financing to mineral offtake and trading. We are positioning ourselves now, before the demand surge arrives, so that GTH Sarl is among the investors who benefit most from it when it does. The International Energy Agency’s 2024 Critical Minerals Report projects that demand for cobalt will grow 420% by 2040, copper 280%, manganese 250%, and lithium 4,200% — all driven by the electric vehicle and renewable energy industries. Every tonne of these minerals comes from the ground. A disproportionate share of that ground is in Africa. The investors and operators who secure positions in these assets in the next five years will generate extraordinary returns over the following twenty. GTH Sarl is making those moves now Our Build-Out Approach Development finance and joint ventures: For mineral assets that have advanced beyond exploration to defined resource, GTH Sarl’s strategy is to structure and participate in the development financing required to bring them to production. This means co-investing alongside DFIs (AfDB, IFC, Proparco), private equity funds with mining expertise, and international mining companies seeking local partnership providing GTH’s balance sheet, African network and financial structuring capability in exchange for an equity participation in the producing asset.
