Project-level joint ventures
Capital committed to a single named site against a defined off-take agreement, with revenue accounted at project level rather than pooled across the group.
- Named asset
- Defined off-take
- Ring-fenced revenue
For investors & partners
An integrated position in Nigerian minerals.
We structure joint ventures and project-level investment around producing and near-producing assets, not speculation. Capital goes into ground we already operate.

Where capital goes to work
Three structures, all tied to a named asset.
We do not raise general-purpose capital. Every structure below is attached to a specific site, a specific piece of plant or a specific stream of production.
Equipment & plant financing
Funding for specific processing capacity, whether a crushing line, a dense-media circuit or a flotation plant, repaid against the throughput that asset generates.
- Asset-backed
- Throughput-linked
- Defined term
Off-take & prepayment
Forward purchase of production at benchmarked pricing, with independent assay on every consignment and delivery on FOB or CIF terms.
- Benchmarked pricing
- Assay on every lot
- FOB or CIF
What partners receive
Reporting you can actually audit.
The reason most mineral ventures disappoint is not geology. It is that the partner cannot see what is happening. We report on a fixed cycle, in figures.
- Quarterly operating report
- Production, grade, shipment volumes and operating cost against plan, for each project in which you hold a position.
- Independent assay certification
- Third-party laboratory certification on every consignment, issued before shipment rather than reconstructed afterwards.
- Chain-of-custody records
- Licence, site, date and haulier recorded from pit to port, a requirement for tantalum and tin, and our standard across the book.
- Annual audited accounts
- Company-level financial statements, with project accounts available to partners holding a position in that project.
Questions we are always asked
Answered plainly, before you ask.
What is the minimum ticket size?
It depends on the structure. Equipment financing starts at the cost of the specific asset being funded; project-level joint ventures are negotiated against the development budget of the site in question. We will tell you the number for a given project on the first call rather than after three meetings.
How is capital ring-fenced?
Project revenue is accounted separately rather than pooled at group level, and export proceeds for a funded project are reported against that project. Partners receive the underlying figures, not a summary.
What does Ayotaye put in alongside partner capital?
The licence, the plant, the operating team and the trading relationships. We are an operator taking partners into assets we already run, not a promoter raising money for ground we have not touched.
How is a mineral's grade verified?
Independent laboratory assay on every consignment before shipment. A buyer or partner can nominate their own laboratory, and we have no objection to a second assay at their cost.
Which minerals are open to investment?
Currently the lithium, tin–coltan and lead–zinc operations, plus the Ondo bitumen resource at development stage. The gemstone programme is funded internally.
