Every opportunity is evaluated individually
We evaluate tanzanite opportunities, like all others, according to legal status, geological potential, technical requirements and commercial viability. Each stage of our eight-stage process must justify the next, so capital is committed progressively as geological and commercial evidence accumulates.
Our investment processHow We Evaluate
Four questions, answered in order, before capital is committed.
Legal status
The mineral right, its holder and its standing under Tanzania’s mining regulations.
Geological potential
Evidence of mineralisation from mapping, sampling, assays and any previous work.
Technical requirements
What exploration, mining and processing the deposit would need to produce a saleable product.
Commercial viability
Capital requirements, risks and the market for the product at the quality the deposit can deliver.
