DFIs screen counterparties for ultimate beneficial ownership, politically-exposed persons and sanctions exposure against a small set of evolving institutional frameworks. This page maps those frameworks, states exactly what Afrimintel covers today, and is honest about what is not yet built.
Data status, stated plainly. Afrimintel does not today run a sanctions or PEP screen, and does not assert ultimate-beneficial-ownership chains beyond the public record. The institutional UBO layer below (PEP/sanctions screening, full tracership to OECD/UN/EU standard) is Absent — planned pending licensed third-party data (World-Check-class APIs). Nothing on this page should be relied on for compliance screening.
What is live today
Public-record Ownership & Control Map Live · 17 assets
The map covers 17 assets. For each, Afrimintel records the operator, the ultimate parent(s) with stock-exchange listing and jurisdiction, the sovereign co-owner where one exists, and a state-control / PRC-control signal — all from public record. Verification depth varies: a core set is sourced to primary record (e.g. Kamoa-Kakula via Ivanhoe filings, Twin Hills and Abujar to control-change announcements), while several others are carried from prior public-record disclosure and are flagged verification-pending in the data — and a few ownership percentages are marked Absent pending confirmation. It is explicitly not a sanctions screen: it shows the named parties on the public record, nothing more, with each asset's provenance state visible. View the ownership map ›
The institutional frameworks a full UBO layer maps to
These are the live frameworks against which a DFI compliance team assesses ownership and tax transparency. The build target is to map each asset's ownership disclosure to these standards and flag gaps — not to replace a compliance vendor.
OECD Mapping planned
OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains + the broader beneficial-ownership / transparency guidelines
Five-step due-diligence framework for mineral supply chains (the reference most DFIs anchor responsible-sourcing checks to).
Beneficial-ownership transparency guidance that extends beyond the supply-chain due-diligence framework.
Afrimintel target: tag each deep asset's disclosure against the five-step framework and surface where ownership transparency falls short.
United Nations Mapping planned
UN work on multinational tax transparency & beneficial-ownership disclosure
Multinational tax-transparency norms relevant to how mining profits and ownership are disclosed across jurisdictions.
Relevant to offshore-holding structures common in African mining (Mauritius, other financial centres).
Afrimintel target: flag offshore-intermediary layers in the ownership chain and the tax-transparency disclosure status.
European Union Mapping planned
EU beneficial-ownership / corporate-disclosure framework
EU disclosure rules on beneficial ownership and corporate transparency, relevant where EU-domiciled financiers or DFIs (e.g. EBRD, EU member DFIs) are in the capital stack.
Afrimintel target: map an asset's ownership disclosure to the EU standard where an EU financier is involved.
