In practice
What it looks like day to day.
Illustrations of typical work, not client stories.
A foreign investor offered a gold concession
An investor is offered a concession in the Eastern Region. Screening checks the licence against the cadastre, reviews the geology and visits the site before any money moves.
A solar developer preparing for a lender
A developer plans solar power for an industrial buyer in a free zone. We organise the PPA, EPC and project documents so a development finance institution can assess them.
A mine that needs to prove its sourcing
A producer's buyers want evidence of where the ore comes from. Monthly site reports with photos and GPS data, and records in Afri-MINEX, give them a clear trail.

Questions
Good to know.
How long does a concession screening take?
You receive a written report in 3 to 4 weeks.
Can foreign investors hold small-scale mining licences?
No. Small-scale licences are reserved for Ghanaian citizens, so foreign capital enters through large-scale licences, joint ventures or services. We explain the options in a briefing.
How do you handle the pending royalty reform?
A bill before Parliament would change gold royalties to a price-linked sliding scale. Until it is settled, we model both regimes for your project.
Do you charge for access to officials or approvals?
Never. We work through the formal application and consultation processes. Fees are for preparation and delivery, and any personal connection of our team to a public office is disclosed.
