Afrimintel · Verified dossier
Have a live decision on one African mining asset? Get it verified.
A single named asset, checked line by line against the documents its owner actually filed. Every figure says where it came from and when — or says plainly that no public figure exists. Delivered as a document you can put in front of a committee.
Per asset, fixed fee. Exclusive of Mauritius VAT. Timeline agreed in writing before work starts.
For scale: Kabanga’s initial capital is US$942m on its operator’s own S-K 1300 technical report. A dossier is $1,850 — about two millionths of that number, or put another way, $1 of checking for every $509,000 committed. That is the comparison we would want made: not against a subscription, but against the cost of being wrong about the number.

Nikesh Patel, geochemist — Editor-in-Chief, Afrimintel Ltd. Sole editorial authority: every figure in your dossier is checked and signed off by one named person, and that name is on the document. There is no research pool and no unnamed analyst.
You can audit that judgement before you buy. Every correction ever made is on the public audit log, and forward claims — including Afrimintel’s own — are scored on the register. Independence policy.
Send the asset name first. If the public record is too thin to produce a dossier worth having, we tell you that before any invoice is raised — and we do not take the commission. Sometimes the honest answer is that you would be paying us to confirm a gap.
Scope, deliverable and timeline are agreed in writing before work starts, in an engagement letter. Refund terms follow that letter — see the refund policy.
What you get
- Reserves, capital cost, economics, ownership, permits and current status — each with the document it came from, named and dated.
- Where two figures compete, both shown side by side with their vintages. Nothing silently reconciled.
- What is missing, listed. So you know what diligence is still to run before someone else finds the gap.
- Signed by the Editor-in-Chief, who is accountable for every line.
What it is not
It verifies what is on the public record. It does not rate, predict, or recommend, and takes no view on whether you should proceed. The judgement stays yours; the checking is ours.
Already know the asset?
Commissioned work feeds the public record: corrections found while verifying are published on the audit log and, where they touch a forward claim, scored on the register. You are not buying a private opinion — you are buying a verified document whose method is public.
