Metals Io in Fund Raising For Gold Mining in W/Africa
Metals iO, a diverse and inclusive global mining company headquartered in New York City, focused on exploration and development projects in Sierra Leone, has announced plans to raise further funds to explore compelling gold and critical metals projects in the West African country (please see the attached press release).
The company is currently in discussions with several potential investors.
Currently, Metals iO is raising capital to scale its Sierra Leone-based gold projects to production over an 18-month period and to acquire strategic West African critical metal projects.
The company says Sierra Leone’s mining sector is largely underexplored and underdeveloped, while it boasts a stable mining friendly government, transparent mining policies, clean hydro power infrastructure, and asphalt roads that provide access to all mining regions.
Metals iO focuses its acquisition, exploration, and development efforts on commercial grade gold and critical metal projects in West Africa.
The company utilizes geotechnical data and predictive analytics to identify areas of favourable mineralization, and then leverages their local knowledge and expertise to conduct due diligence through research of artisanal activity and soil sampling to structure effective drill programs.
Metals iO has a very strong focus on positive sustainable impact and stewardship, with business practices shaped by the World Gold Council’s Responsible Mining Principles and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
As an accredited U.S. Federal Government contractor, Metals iO presents a strategic solution for U.S. public and private sector interests across continental Africa.
Biden-Harris Administration’s US-Africa Leaders Summit
Metals iO was extremely proud to be invited to the Biden-Harris Administration’s US-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, DC on December 13-15. More specifically, its wholly owned gold company, Tresor Gold, was featured in the Prosper Africa Deal Room, which President Biden highlighted at the event’s highly coveted Business Forum.
The Summit convened African heads of state and senior officials, top business executives, scholars, and thought leaders in high-level meetings with President Biden and his senior administration to underscore Africa’s importance as a geopolitical player.
The U.S. President affirmed his unwavering alliance and support for an economically stronger, more robust Africa by supporting policies that foster sustainable human capital development through bolstering African trade and investment.
In his keynote speech, President Biden stated, “when Africa succeeds… the whole world succeeds.”
