African Mining Companies, NACE Corp is your best technical and financial partner

We provide innovative solutions to African mining operators to help them meet their challenges.

We are fully aware that access to equipment and finance is the main obstacle to the emergence of industrial mines developed and operated by African companies. This is why NACE Corporation has decided to launch the Africa Mineral Initiative (AMI) Program.

NACE Corp, a company committed to modernizing mining operations in Africa and revitalizing the American industrial base.

North America Critical Elements Corporation (NACE Corp) est une entreprise américaine dédiée à l’industrialisation responsable du secteur minier, avec un double engagement : stimuler la croissance économique en Afrique et revitaliser la base industrielle des États-Unis. En collaborant étroitement avec les gouvernements et opérateurs miniers africains, nous proposons des solutions de mécanisation et de modernisation adaptées aux défis locaux : mise à disposition de machinerie lourde, financement flexible et assistance technique complète.

Notre approche s’articule autour de l’Africa Mineral Initiative (AMI), un programme qui repose sur des partenariats « gagnant-gagnant ». Nous accompagnons la transformation de l’exploitation minière – souvent artisanale ou sous-optimale – en un modèle industrialisé, rentable et respectueux de l’environnement. Grâce à notre savoir-faire en ingénierie et à nos usines modulaires, les gisements africains bénéficient d’une première valorisation locale, accroissant la valeur ajoutée avant exportation.

Côté américain, NACE Corp répond à la volonté de sécuriser les chaînes d’approvisionnement en minéraux critiques, nécessaires à la réindustrialisation du pays. En nouant des accords de long terme avec nos partenaires africains, nous assurons un flux régulier de matières premières stratégiques, tout en favorisant le développement inclusif des régions minières africaines : création d’emplois, transfert de compétences, et soutien aux infrastructures locales.

 

NACE Corp se positionne comme un catalyseur de croissance mutuelle, unissant l’Afrique et l’Amérique autour d’une vision commune : l’exploitation minière responsable et la prospérité partagée.

America wants to do fair and Win-Win business with Africa.

The United States now wants to move away from a simple logic of humanitarian aid to favor commercial partnerships based on trust and mutual respect. The objective is to establish Africa as a major economic player, thanks to access to technology and the creation of industrial opportunities, guaranteeing mutual and sustainable benefits.

01

Contrat d’Achat de Minerais et Sécurité de Marché

First of all, we sign an offtake agreement with you that guarantees you a stable outlet for the ore you produce. We commit to buying your production at a defined price, indexed to the market, with adjustments related to the quality of the ore. This gives you financial security and avoids uncertainties about the sale.

Supply of Heavy Equipment and Maintenance Services

If you lack the resources to mechanize your operations, NACE Corp offers you heavy machinery (excavators, bulldozers, trucks) for rent or through a leasing system. We can also install modular ore pre-treatment units (crushing, concentration). This way, you gain in productivity, without having to invest large sums immediately.

Mining trucks are designed for off-highway use, meaning they can operate on rough, uneven,

03

Technical Assistance and Training for your employees.

Our engineers and technicians visit your sites, assess the situation (geology, yield, constraints) and train you in the best extraction practices: workplace safety, machine maintenance, waste management, etc. The goal is to help you increase your production while reducing your costs, thanks to mechanization and expert advice.

Advances on Production and Financial Support for your Operations.

We know that working capital is often needed to buy fuel, pay your employees, etc. That is why NACE Corp can, in some cases, provide you with advances on production, which are then deducted from the sale of your ore. This gives you the cash to start or expand your operation, without fear of financial blockage.

Controlling Ore Quality and Adjusting Prices

Pour fixer le prix final, nous analysons la qualité du minerai (teneur en métal recherché, impuretés). Plus votre minerai est propre et riche, plus le prix sera attractif. Nous mettons à votre disposition un laboratoire ou un service d’échantillonnage pour garantir la transparence du processus.

The AMI devotes local transformation and technology transfer.

As part of the Africa Mineral Initiative (AMI), Géo Squad and the Colorado School of Mines play a key role in ensuring effective technology transfer for the benefit of African partners. Géo Squad provides expertise in deposit exploration, accurately identifying the nature and potential of mineral reserves. Simultaneously, the Colorado School of Mines focuses on the extraction and processing of minerals, training local engineers and technicians in industrial and environmental best practices. This collaboration ensures both capacity building and increased value added, two fundamental pillars for modern and profitable mining.
