Securing Strategic Metals Supply and

Ensuring High Financial Returns

Lugamines Sagl is a company based in Lugano/ Switzerland, providing holding, funding ​and trading services, primarily with mining companies globally. The main focus of activities ​is Africa,

Geographically, the company has specialized in mining development and trading in Africa, ​mainly in Congo DRC, where it holds a local subsidiary. Other countries come under focus ​as high potential developments are identified : e.g. Ghana for gold production. In addition, ​Lugamines has engaged in opportunistic trading and consulting activities in other regions ​like India or Canada.

Strategically, Lugamines has a start-up approach:

-Early stage development: generating high-potential projects

-Second stage reselling: bringing both metals and cash-generating projects onto the ​market: senior mines, stock listed platforms, large supply-chain players

The Lugamines execs have a unique hands-on approach in lead generation and project ​development, ensuring that only the safest and most promising projects are brought to ​market. All aspects are tested : value-chain, profitability, feasibility, safety, risk assessment

The multinational team at Lugamines boasts strong local connections, extensive expertise ​in international finance and project management mixed with unique skills for exploration ​and adaptation in undeveloped environments.

Focusing on African Minerals and Green Energies

Empowering African Talents

Metal Production

Lugamines has developed projects involving either:

• the opening of new mining pits or...
  
• the exploitation of rejects and tailings from stockpiles left behind from past ​operations, as the latest technologies allow the efficient recovery of the metals
  

This entails a complementary approach, where we may engage both large public ​companies and small scale artisanal operators, that we empower with management and ​mechanization of their operations

Metal resources prospected:

• Copper
• Cobalt
• Tantalite

Exclusions: Diamonds

• Tin
  
• Gold
  
• Rare earth, eg germanium

Geothermal Resources Prospected

• Prospection of hotsprings and steam sources in North Kolwezi
  
• Assessment of green geothermal projects, basis 30 MW (as the Menengai ​Geothermal Project at the Nakuru volcano in Kenya)
