Mining Value Addition Acceleration Facility
MVAAF originates, screens and structures mineral processing and beneficiation projects — aligning capital, technology and government around bankable industrial opportunities.
The African value addition gap
Most African mineral output leaves the continent as ore or concentrate. The processing, refining and manufacturing stages — where value, employment and industrial capability concentrate — happen offshore. MVAAF exists to move those stages onshore.
That requires more than intent: it requires screened projects, structured capital, proven technology and aligned governments, assembled around each opportunity.
Figures published as MVAAF activity is formalised
What MVAAF does
Jurisdiction-level visibility of beneficiation opportunities, investment requirements and industrial impact.
DFIs, sovereign funds, banks and institutional investors access a screened, structured pipeline.
Process technology, engineering and construction partners matched to qualified projects.
Mining companies and developers submit projects for screening, structuring and capital alignment.
How MVAAF works
Projects enter through developers, governments and partners.
Technical, commercial and jurisdictional screening against MVAAF criteria.
Capital stack design, offtake alignment and technology definition.
Qualified opportunities presented to matched capital partners.
Financial close, development and delivery oversight.
Processing is where value is decided
Project pipeline
Illustrative pipeline. Sample projects shown for demonstration — live opportunities are released to verified partners.
Expansion of an operating SX-EW facility to increase cathode output, with grid and renewable power integration.
Spodumene concentrator adjacent to an established hard-rock resource, structured around committed offtake.
Staged evaluation of in-country alumina refining tied to existing bauxite export operations and port capacity.
Capital partners
DFIs, sovereign funds, banks and institutional investors access qualified opportunities — filterable by country, mineral, stage and ticket size — with confidential detail released under NDA.
Request investor access →Technology & EPC partners
Process technology providers, EPC contractors and equipment manufacturers profile their capabilities and are matched to projects requiring them.

Illustrative country profiles for demonstration. Engagement data is published as MVAAF activity is formalised.
Trust & confidentiality
Project information is treated as confidential. Public profiles expose only high-level, developer-approved summaries.
Detailed documentation is released only under NDA, with permissioned, logged access. (Data rooms arrive in a later platform phase.)
Every project passes technical, commercial and jurisdictional screening before reaching partners.
Capital and technology partners are verified before receiving access to opportunities.
Insights
The margin between ore and refined product is where industrialisation, employment and fiscal value concentrate.
What separates a processing concept from a financeable industrial asset — and how structure closes the gap.
Energy availability determines which value-addition projects are viable. Planning them together changes the answer.
