RDI: Unlocking Africa’s Mineral Potential

Africa boasts approximately 30%

of the world’s mineral deposits

yet, 70% of these valuable resources are exported to Europe or Asia for further refinement and transformation into marketable products.

In most African countries, natural capital constitutes between 30% and 50% of their overall wealth. Tragically, Africa experiences an annual loss estimated to around 195 billion dollars due to illicit financial flows, illegal mining, unregulated fishing, environmental degradation, and wildlife trafficking. This happens due to the absence of local minerals processing and refining, and commodities being exported in their raw state.

Africa has significant opportunities in establishing refineries. By refining even a modest portion of the minerals extracted on the continent there can be substantial advantages. RDI wants to establish itself as a first-mover and become one of the key players in this domain.

The Solution:

RDI's Approach

RDI aims to position itself as a major player in mineral processing and refining across Africa, having existing mining operations on the continent through its partner: RedRock Mining (link to the website of Red Rock Mining).

RDI’s strategy revolves around leveraging the existing mining assets and encompassing the complete value chain, spanning from mining to finished commodities. Our intention is to export high-value products to global clients, and our approach is rooted in creating innovative solutions tailored to specific requirements. This involves integrating state-of-the-art technologies and pioneering business models, all reinforced by our existing assets and operations throughout Africa.

RDI is committed to managing the entire value chain, from mining and processing to global export.

Projects

RedRock Mining, our partner company, has invested in and recently acquired gold mines in Tanzania. Building on this foundation, RDI aims to establish a precious metal refinery to upgrade the gold ore into high-value gold pellets and ingots.

Project Status: Currently in the feasibility phase

Location: Tanzania

What are the benefits?

Africa’s abundant mineral resources, coupled with rising global demand and the potential for value addition, makes it an appealing destination for investors.

RDI aims to introduce advanced technologies and expertise, transfer knowledge to the local workforce, and promote sustainable and responsible practices. Furthermore, infrastructure development and enhanced market access expand the reach of African mineral products.
