Challenging the status quo
for creating equilibrium

Products

Our portfolio consists of Strategic Metals & Minerals that are core to
building the electric and digital age we are envisaging.

Energy Metals

As we move towards replacing fossil fuel derived energy sources with renewables, energy metals like copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and antimony are key to the future generation, storage and use of electrical energy. These metals are crucial for industries such as construction, transportation, and telecommunications.

3TG

Tin, tungsten, tantalum, and gold, also referred to as 3TG, are used in everyday products such as mobile phones, cars, and jewellery. These are essential for many of our modern technologies to function and we are extremely conscious that they be ethically sourced.

REE

Rare-earth elements (REEs) are used as components in high technology devices, such as smart phones, digital cameras, computer hard disks, fluorescent and light-emitting diode (LED) lights, flat screen televisions, computer monitors, and electronic displays.

Operations

From exploration to mining and brownfield expansion, our geoscientists believe in Smart Mining, a new way of creating value through innovative applications.

Morocco

A) Samta Metals & Alloys SA (Metal Recycling Business)

Samta Mines is developing metal scrap recycling project in Atlantic Free Zone (AFZ), Kenitra-Morocco with an investment of 70 MUSD for production of copper rod as well as aluminum silica alloy ingots to cater local automotive, aeronautical and energy sector. Initial capacity of this plant will be 15000 TPA of copper and 20000 TPA of aluminum with further provision to double the capacity in 3 years.

B) Samta Morocco SA (Exploration & Mining Business)

Samta Mines holds 8 exploration permits & one exploitation licence for exploration and mining of copper and gold. Company also operates through joint venture with ONHYM (National Office of Hydrocarbons & Mines) for the exploration of 6 copper mining licenses. Exploration is in progress on above licenses.

DR Congo

Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is one of the most mineral rich countries in the world. Samta holds 2 licences that span 204 sq. km in the Kasai Central Province with active interest and focus on Copper and Cobalt and initial exploration program is in progress. Our exploration activities are done under strict international guidelines and a close audit of JORC standards and certification.

Uganda

With an investment of over 12 million USD, our operations in Uganda span around 1250 sq. km area of mining concessions with 13 licenses and are focused on Nickel and associated minerals in Arua, Zombo, and Gulu regions. Nickel exploration is at an advanced stage for discovery of massive sulphide deposits. As on date, 199 km2 mapped, 82,721 soil samples taken and 16,400 m drilled with mineral resource estimate (MRE) 38.6 Mt of Ni ore @ 0.42% Ni grade in inferred resources category.

Approach

We are using Disruptive Innovation to assess and rethink processes that no longer serve the ultimate goal of a sustainable future.

Decarbonisation
& SDG

We recognize the priority for immediate action for environmental crises and support the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

People &
Safety

Our approach to business is human-focused and we believe that ensuring employee safety is the most critical function of the mining industry.

Innovation
& Digitization

We are using the power of technology to replace outdated practices and drive disruptive innovation to come up with sustainable solutions.

Transparent
Supply Chains

We use the power of blockchain to establish authenticity in the mining supply chain and ensure ethical sourcing.

Community
Development

We are very aware that real progress is achieved only when balance is restored in society, and our actions reflect this conviction.

Technology that transforms

Blockchain technology is on the cusp of bringing groundbreaking transformation to the mining world, more than people can imagine. Our group company InfiniChains, is one of the first in the country to implement blockchain-based tracking across the value chain.

Our mining blockchain solution can precisely determine the location of origin of a metal and verify proof of authenticity and ethical sourcing. It is designed to track metal through its life cycle — from mine to manufacturer. It will have a distributed ledger with a record of the trace of the metal, material composition, identity and chain custody. In short, a trust engine for all stakeholders in the supply chain.
