Market Positioning
West Africa hosts some of an of the world's richest and least-explored greenstone belts, offering immense potential for world-class discoveries. However, mining in the region faces challenges, including infrastructure gaps, political risk, and the need for long-term, patient capital.
Kangala's integrated model is perfectly suited to overcome these challenges. We use our own construction division to build infrastructure, our logistics division to manage supply chains, and our financial strength to support long-term exploration and development. This self-reliance dramatically reduces project execution risk.
- In-House Infrastructure Capability: The ability to build our own roads, airstrips, and camps reduces cost and timelines.
- Logistics Expertise: Managing our own supply chain for equipment and consumables is a major competitive advantage.
- Government Relations: Decades of operating in the region have built strong, trusting relationships with regulatory bodies.
- Access to Capital: The ability to fund exploration programs and feasibility studies from the group's financial strength.
Synergy in Action
Our mining division is a prime example of our ecosystem strategy. We engage our Construction & Civil Engineering division to build our mine sites, we rely on our Aviation & Logistics division for equipment and personnel transport, and we use fuel from our Oil & Gas / Hydrocarbons division to power our operations. This is integration in action.
