Bankability your credit committee can stand behind.

You finance the assets where mineral data is thinnest — studies scattered across national regulators, figures unsourced, host-country risk hard to pin. Afrimintel hands your credit and safeguards teams a decision-ready picture: every figure traced to the issuer's own filing, every gap named, with the host-country and E&S signals your mandate already runs on.

Taking an asset to credit committee? One named asset, every figure traced to the document it came from and dated. Where the record is silent it says so, so the gap is in your credit memo rather than found in committee.

The problem

Every deal, your team rebuilds the same picture from scratch.

A single African mining exposure means chasing a feasibility study through a national regulator, reconciling three versions of a reserve number, and reconstructing the security and disclosure context by hand — before your credit memo even starts. It's slow, it's uneven between analysts, and the number that reaches committee is only as defensible as whoever assembled it. Afrimintel does that layer once, in the open, and keeps it current.

What your desk gets

A sourced picture, ready for committee.

Bankability, to the primary filing
Reserves, capex, NPV, IRR — pulled from the issuer's own feasibility study or technical report, dated, with the document one click away. No aggregator hearsay in your credit memo.
Host-country & E&S risk, sourced
Security events, disclosure gaps and downstream exposure drawn from ACLED, EITI and public disclosure, Sourced per asset — the E&S context your safeguards team needs, with the source on every line.
The gaps, named
Where a study is silent, we mark it Absent — never estimated. You see exactly what diligence is still yours to run, instead of inheriting false comfort.
A record that stands behind it
Every figure carries a dated source, a public audit trail, and corrections logged within 7 business days. If a number moves, the change is logged — the defensibility is built in, not asserted.

Credit inputs

Inputs for the memo. Never a rating.

A lender does not need Afrimintel's opinion of an asset; it needs the inputs its own model and its own committee will test — and the list of what the public record does not carry. These are the inputs. Nothing on this page or behind these links scores an asset, ranks an operator, or recommends a facility.

Post-tax NPV, capex, IRR from the issuer's own study, dated; the common-8% re-discount is Derived and says so.
What six, twelve and twenty-four months of slippage cost at the study's own NPV — arithmetic, no re-modelling.
Senior-debt capacity, binding-year DSCR and loan-life cover ratio computed on the study's own annual post-tax cash flow (Kabanga, FS-TRS Table 19-9), with the arithmetic printed beside each output; Absent for any asset whose study publishes no annual schedule.
For each producing asset with a Derived margin: what survives the down-price case and where a debt sized at spot lands; Absent where no margin scenario exists.
One brief per asset, on a single page, composed from the feeds — economics, sponsor, funding, safeguards, downstream flags — with every cell's state. Not a recommendation.
Geography and sector against each institution's published mandate; IFC PS / ESIA / permit status per asset with the document named.
Every gap on the asset with the reason the feed gives — not-disclosed or not-yet-verified — the diligence that is still yours to run, listed before committee rather than found in it; not-applicable cells shown apart.
Value, state, document, date, previous value, change, preserved copy — the same record on every surface and in the sample workbook.
The gap table

What the record does not carry, asset by asset.

Computed at build from financeability, safeguards and the two headline bankability figures for the DFI deep set; the page types no number. 13 assets, 256 cells, of which 34 are gaps to run and 30 are not-applicable. A cell here is a feed field that carries its own state (value, state, source); the count per asset is the breadth of that asset's schema, not a completeness score; rows are not comparable to each other, and the table is in register order, not ranked. not-disclosed: the public record was checked and carries no figure. not-yet-verified: nothing has been read for that cell yet; this is the diligence still to run. not-applicable: the dimension does not apply to this asset; it is not a gap and is shown apart.
