Why Mauritania

A continent's
quietest mineral frontier.

1.03 million km². Atlantic coast. Underexplored geology. A reputation, increasingly, for political stability among regional peers. The investor case is becoming difficult to ignore.

TIRIS INCHIRI GUELB GTA Nouakchott Nouadhibou

Where the ground is.

  • Tiris (NW). Iron-ore corridor anchored by SNIM since the 1960s; gold and uranium peripheral plays.
  • Inchiri (central). Greenstone gold belt with Tasiast and a cluster of independent operators.
  • Guelb (north). Copper-gold basin; one of West Africa's earliest-stage copper frontiers.
  • GTA basin (offshore). Natural gas, first production phase; foundation for green-hydrogen pivot.
  • Atlantic coast. Nouakchott & Nouadhibou deep-water ports; the export spine.
