Mandates for capital raising, due diligence, structuring and cover are placed as a project moves from study toward financial close. AMIQ shows you which African mining projects are at that stage right now, and the owners deciding who they appoint.
Subscribe to see projects at pre-feasibility, feasibility and bankable stage, and the owners raising the money.
The capital-formation window
Every mine that opens once raised money, ran due diligence and structured cover, usually years before first production. By the time a financing reaches the market, the lenders, advisors and insurers are mostly chosen. AMIQ follows 2,245 projects and mines across Africa and flags the 357 currently working through the pre-feasibility, feasibility and bankable stages, so you reach the owner while the syndicate and advisory roles are still open.
Where mandates are placed
A project moves toward financial close in stages, and each one carries a different mandate. With 152 sponsors already at grassroots seeking seed money and 357 further along the road to bankable, the deepest pool of advisory and structuring work sits where studies are firming up and the funding case is being built.

Where the deal flow sits
Deal flow is far from evenly spread. The Southern book is by some way the largest, with the East and West catching up quickly. Click any region to open its coverage and weigh jurisdiction, currency and country risk before you commit a deal team or a credit line.

From stage to mandate
Finance and advisory needs change as a project firms up. AMIQ tells you which stage a project has reached, so you pitch the service the owner is actually buying right now rather than one they bought last year.
Sponsors testing a deposit need scoping budgets, seed equity and early-stage funding, the first capital that takes a prospect from idea to a case worth studying.
As the resource is defined, owners line up development capital and lean on technical advisors to test assumptions, size the prize and frame how the project will eventually be funded.
Bankable feasibility studies, independent technical due diligence, environmental and social impact review, plus construction and political-risk cover, the assurance a lender needs before it can commit.
Debt structuring, syndication, hedging and the final risk and credit work that carries a project through to financial close and into construction drawdown.
Advisory, lending and insurance mandates are won on relationships built early, not on responding to a tender. AMIQ puts the owner's verified contact in front of you while the appointment is still open, whatever stage the project has reached. Looking to acquire or take equity instead of advise?

How AMIQ wins you mandates
One login converts Africa's capital-formation activity into a live origination list your deal team can work through week after week.
Watch projects climb from pre-feasibility through feasibility to bankable, refreshed as each one advances, so a financing rarely hits the market before you have watched it take shape.
746 project owners with verified contacts, the sponsors who decide which bank, advisor or insurer is appointed to the deal.
Filter by stage, commodity and region to weigh size, jurisdiction and risk appetite before a single hour of origination time is spent.
An email lands the instant a project steps up a stage, letting you approach the sponsor while the role is unfilled and the panel is still taking shape.
Built for origination teams
Most banks and advisors only learn of a mining financing when the information memorandum lands, by which point the sponsor has already settled on who they trust with the mandate. AMIQ pulls your origination earlier in the cycle. It charts mining across Africa in the order capital actually forms, from the first seed budget through bankable study and on to close, putting your name in front of the sponsor while the panel is still being decided.
Since deal flow concentrates by geography, you can gauge each market through the region pages for Southern Africa, East Africa, West Africa, Central Africa and North Africa, then follow new mining projects in Africa as fresh sponsors surface. Whether your appetite leans to gold or copper, you spend effort only where the deal suits your book.
Proven across the value chain
Specialists from across the mining value chain count on AMIQ to pinpoint and contact the projects suited to them. That same project intelligence now powers origination for the firms lending to, advising and insuring those projects.






Africa Mining IQ has been instrumental in gaining new business leads by supplying contact details of relevant individuals at the numerous mines listed.
Capital-raising projects as they form, the sponsors driving them and direct verified contacts, all in a single subscription shaped for banks, advisors and insurers in mining.

Common questions
It surfaces projects while they are still raising capital and running due diligence, when lending, advisory and insurance roles are being decided. Because the sponsor's verified contact comes attached, your team can pitch ahead of the mandate award rather than scrambling once an information memorandum has already reached the market.
357 projects across Africa are on the road to bankable: 194 at pre-feasibility, 96 at feasibility and 67 already bankable. A further 152 sponsors sit at grassroots seeking seed and early capital. These figures come from the wider continental base of 2,245 tracked projects and mines.
Subscribing unlocks named, verified contacts for 746 project owners: the sponsors who choose which bank, advisor or insurer is appointed. The platform also shows which firms are already on a deal, letting you direct origination effort to roles that remain genuinely open.
All five African regions are covered. The Southern book leads at 835 projects and mines, ahead of East and West Africa. Filtering by commodity lets you match your sector appetite, whether that is gold, copper, bulk commodities or battery minerals.
This page is built for firms that finance, advise and insure projects rather than own them. If you are buying assets or taking equity, see the dedicated page for investors looking for mining opportunities in Africa, which is structured around acquisition rather than mandate origination.
Save the stages, commodities and regions your firm covers as a filter, and the platform emails you whenever a matching project steps up a stage. Acting on that signal puts you in front of the sponsor before the role is filled, at the point where relationships, not bid documents, decide who is appointed.
