The problem

30% of the world's minerals. 60 years of buried intelligence.

African exploration is too expensive, too slow, too uncertain — so capital goes elsewhere. The data to change that exists. It's just locked away.

01 — ARCHIVES

Locked in basements

Colonial-era geological records, undigitised for 86 years.

02 — SURVEYS

No self-service

Airborne surveys run 6–18 month lead times and $200k minimums.

03 — GROUND TRUTH

Knowledge evaporates

What frontline miners and geologists see is never captured.

04 — INVESTABILITY

No common metric

Nothing scores every data source on one comparable scale.

Intelligence Architecture

Integrated data. Unified analysis. Quantified confidence.

Systematizing mineral intelligence across the African continent with precision and institutional rigor.

An 86-year journey

One mine, documented in 1938. Scored in 2027.

The intelligence was always there. It took a platform to make it decision-grade.

WHAT WE PROVIDE

Archive + anomaly + score

Why AfriXplore

Transforming mineral intelligence for institutional decision-making across Africa.

01

The only Convergence Score in Africa

The first platform to combine archive and geophysics into an investability metric.

02

80+ years of archive data

20,000+ historical mine records — digitised, indexed, searchable.

03

Self-service infrastructure

14–19 day turnaround instead of 6–18 months. Fleet-based, interpreted.

04

A compounding dataset

Every archive integration sharpens the signal and raises confidence.

05

Auditable by design

Named sources, cited field reports, explainable DPI scores.

06

Embedded in Africa

Active in Conakry, with Kigali, Gaborone and Kinshasa coming soon.

Your next target is already in our database.
