Institutional governance, US-domiciled capital structure, and international market access — paired with locally compliant operating entities on the ground.
Caspian Africa Holding LLC is a United States–based holding company that develops, finances, and operates responsibly managed mineral assets in Sub-Saharan Africa. We hold and operate two anchor positions — in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of Botswana — selected for the strength of their commodity exposure, the discipline of their regulatory frameworks, and the quality of their local partners.
Our role at the holding level is institutional capital allocation and oversight. Day-to-day operations are run by our subsidiary Copilot Mining Inc. (DRC), our DRC trading vehicle Caspian Africa SARL, and our controlling Botswana joint venture — each with its own management, license framework, and governance structure.
Our DRC operating subsidiary, running a vertically integrated platform across more than 100,000 acres of mining land and concessions. Operations span exploration, extraction, processing, packaging, and licensed export.
OHADA-incorporated Société à Responsabilité Limitée licensed for Négociant en Or trading. Sources gold from artisanal miners and cooperatives, aggregates in coded batches, and sells to licensed comptoirs for CEEC-certified export.
Controlling joint venture headquartered in Gaborone for diamond and rare earth element exploration, extraction, and beneficiation. Structured to satisfy local-ownership requirements under Botswana's 2024 Mines & Minerals Amendment.
We operate with integrity, respect local communities, improve environmental performance, and build operating systems that support long-term sustainability. Every business unit operates under a documented compliance framework, segregation of custody and finance functions, and a quarterly internal audit.
A US-domiciled holding gives our partners and investors institutional-grade governance, transparent capital and ownership reporting, direct relationships with US refiners and banks, and a sanctions/AML posture aligned with US regulatory expectations — while operating subsidiaries remain locally licensed and locally led.
