About us
The Critical Minerals Fund (TCMF) is positioned to address some of the pressing challenges of the fourth industrial revolution, which brings a surging demand for critical minerals, essential for technological advancements. While electric vehicle (EV) components are central to this demand, there is a broader spectrum of needs, ranging from renewable energy, communication, internet of things, construction, space exploration, to infrastructure. Notably, a significant portion of these essential metals resides in Africa, especially within Southern Africa. Our investment strategy centers on acquiring stakes in African entities either at advanced mining exploration phases or nearing production. The Fund is committed to assisting these companies in achieving production, considering either an exit strategy post-production commencement or engaging in off-take agreements coupled with potential listings. Our joint venture general partner (GP) capitalizes on its vast experience in mining investment and management, aiming to navigate these challenges and actualize value. At its core, the Fund’s mission is to propel economic development within Africa, tapping into the region’s mineral wealth, fostering employment opportunities, and advocating for sustainable practices.
