Unlocking Africa’s mineral wealth.
AMP brings mining expertise, financial structuring, and execution capability together on a single platform. We identify, structure, develop, and operate semi-industrial assets — small-scale mining operations (EMAPE) — turning them into safe, compliant, profitable operations.
Our objective
Revealing the value between a resource and its potential.
The problem is not a lack of mineral resources in Africa, but the ability to turn them into structured, productive, value-creating assets. Semi-industrial mining is not a second-tier model: properly structured, financed, and operated, it becomes a genuine performance lever.
Positioning
59.3 t
of gold produced in Côte d’Ivoire in 2025 — an all-time record.
+500
semi-industrial permits granted, of which only ≈ 15% are in effective production.

SPV
per asset: isolated risk, dedicated investors, clear governance.
100%
gravimetric
zero mercury, no cyanidation.
Our model
Five pillars, from asset identification to site restitution.
01
Identify
Turning territory into opportunity: field knowledge, network, qualified sourcing. We know how to tell a promising asset from a mere deposit.
02
Structure
Turning opportunity into a project: each asset is housed in a dedicated SPV. The permit holder remains a partner; AMP operates the site and ties its remuneration to performance.
03
Develop
Turning a project into production: commissioning, equipment and infrastructure, ramp-up. Exploration risk is carried by AMP.
04
Monetize
Turning production into value: economic performance, revenue creation, local impact — traceable, shared value.
05
Protect & rehabilitate
Our responsibility does not end at extraction: environmental control, site rehabilitation, restitution to communities.
Our model
Asset development cycle.
From prospecting to monetization: five stages, one discipline.
Prospecting & acquisition
Geological due diligence
SPV structuring & fundraising
Operational development
Production & monetization
ESG commitment
Verifiable actions, not declarations.
In semi-industrial gold, ESG performance is not a cost: it determines access to capital, operational continuity, and exit value.
S
Social
Sharing value with the territories
Priority to local employment and subcontracting, coexistence and formalization of artisanal miners, community contributions, zero tolerance for child labor.
G
Governance
Full transparency, from mine to export
One SPV per asset with separate, audited accounts, quarterly investor reporting, gold traceable under the OECD Guidance, EITI and anticorruption compliance.
Our frameworks: Ivorian Mining Code · Minamata Convention · OECD Due Diligence Guidance · IFC Performance Standards · EITI Standard · SYSCOHADA.
