Pillar 01 — Mining

Building a mineral portfolio, the right way

Insitu holds and pursues its own mineral interests. We are an operator in our own right, growing a portfolio of exploration and development-stage assets across the region.

01

Acquisition & licences

Securing prospective ground and mineral rights through disciplined, well-researched acquisition rather than speculation.

02

Exploration & development

Advancing early-stage assets with the same estimation and QA/QC standards we hold our advisory clients to.

03

Partnerships & joint ventures

Bringing in the right operators, capital, and landholders to move projects forward on fair, transparent terms.

04

Responsible operations

Building environmental, social, and community responsibility into each asset from the first licence, not as an afterthought.

Track record

Projects the team has delivered

Between them, our people have built, financed, and advised on major mining projects across Africa and beyond.

These are projects delivered in prior roles across the team's careers. They show the depth of experience Insitu brings, not assets the company currently holds. Insitu's own portfolio is being built separately, as set out above.
