    Why Lithium, Why the DRC

    One deposit, sitting at the center of the battery era.

    The Manono Deposit

    Located in Tanganyika province, Manono is one of the largest hard-rock spodumene pegmatite deposits in the world. Its scale, grade and geology position it as a strategic supply source for the global battery industry.

    Battery & EV Demand

    Global lithium-ion battery and EV demand continues to outpace supply. New hard-rock supply from politically diversified regions โ€” like the DRC โ€” is central to how the next decade of the transition gets financed.

    Verified & Responsible Sourcing

    Large-scale deposits carry real responsibilities.

    Lithium at this scale means real environmental and community considerations โ€” land rights, water use, and impact on the communities around the licence area. We factor this into every review, rather than treating it as a footnote.

    OECD-aligned due diligence is applied to every opportunity before it's presented.

    We work only with licensed operators โ€” permits and mining titles are verified upfront.

    Environmental and community impact review is standard, not an afterthought.

    Independent audits and site visits can be arranged before any commitment.
