Three audiences, one doctrine

This firm serves those who build sovereign mineral wealth.

Sovereign States

Secure public decisions

A consulting partner that acquires no mining title in its own name, returns all produced data to the State, and operates under a strict mandate. Sovereignty is never negotiated — it is protected.

Financial partners

Structure a bankable file

A firm that applies JORC 2012 and NI 43-101, that independently audits each campaign, and that delivers a file compliant with the Equator Principles before any capital commitment.

Technical partners

Join a governed consortium

An orchestrator that selects drillers, laboratories, geophysicists and engineers through transparent tender, with clearly contracted responsibilities and CCJA arbitration.

  1. The subsoil belongs to the Nation that welcomes us.

    No mining title is acquired in our own name. Elohim Consulting operates exclusively under mandate or contractual delegation.

  2. All data produced becomes property of the host State.

    The cadastral digital twin, geological reports and analytical results are returned with certificate, at the end of each campaign.

  3. International standards applied without exception.

    JORC 2012 or NI 43-101 for resource classification. IFC Performance Standards and Equator Principles for ESG. No exception granted.

  4. Local content prioritised, measured, published.

    Jobs, subcontracting, training, skills transfer. Every mission publishes local content indicators alongside the host State.

  5. Financial transparency and sovereign arbitration.

    Annual Big Four audit, EITI-compliant publication, arbitration under CCJA. Trust is proven, not declared.

Expertise

Four expertise pillars, one guiding thread.

01 · Targeting

Advanced mineral targeting

Geological interpretation, multispectral remote sensing, airborne geophysics, machine learning applied to Birimian belts, Archean cratons and Pan-African shields.

02 · Exploration

Compliant field exploration

Geochemical surveys, trenches, RC and diamond drilling, QAQC quality control. Documented chain of custody from sample to SANAS-accredited or equivalent laboratory.

03 · Estimation

JORC / NI 43-101 estimation

Geostatistical modelling by AusIMM or CIM member geologists. Competent Person reports, indicated or measured resource classification, scoping and pre-feasibility studies.

04 · Structuring

Bankable structuring

Financial assembly, IFC-compliant packaging, tender-based selection of technical partners, negotiation of mining conventions with international legal counsel.

Generic simulator

State revenue over a project life cycle.

Illustrative model with editable assumptions. Adjust substance, deposit size, grade, price, life of mine and fully-loaded State share. No data is stored.

Gross life-of-mine value
— bn USD
at stated price
Average annual revenue
— bn USD
over life of mine
Cumulative State revenue
— bn USD
royalties + CIT + equity + local
Estimated direct jobs
at operational peak

Simplified model for educational purposes. Actual State revenue depends on the fiscal regime, mining conventions, metallurgical recovery rate, operating costs and effective metal price. Fiscal baselines by substance draw on orders of magnitude observed in West Africa and are freely editable by the user.

Our commitment

A doctrine that is quantified, enforceable and verifiable.

Every Elohim Consulting promise translates into a measurable contractual commitment. Here are the figures we accept to have audited by an independent third party at the end of each mission.
