Norway–East Africa · Responsible Mineral Sourcing
NordAfrix is a strategic mineral sourcing and fiduciary firm headquartered in Oslo, with a technical presence across Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya. We put boots on the ground in hard-to-reach areas through extensive local networks, turning opaque, high-potential opportunities into bankable, compliant transactions for buyers of all sizes worldwide.
Operating under Norwegian Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven).
Verification teams across Kampala, Kigali, and Nairobi.
Aligned with EU, US, and OECD responsible sourcing standards.
Trust-as-a-Service Stack
The global transition to clean energy has unleashed unprecedented demand for critical minerals, yet serious buyers still face a fundamental barrier: opaque, high-risk supply chains. NordAfrix exists to close this trust gap by combining Norwegian fiduciary standards with a permanent technical presence at the point of origin in East Africa.
Oslo headquarters anchors NordAfrix within one of the world's strictest ESG and transparency regimes, creating a Safe Harbor for international capital.
Our teams leave the capital cities and go into hard-to-access mining regions, leveraging vetted local partners to perform physical verification, assaying, and documentation so every transaction is anchored in verifiable reality.
From precious metals and stones to 3T, CETMs, and industrial minerals, NordAfrix provides one consolidated, compliance-ready entry point to the region.
Our service architecture is built to intercept risk at every stage of the deal cycle, from initial approach through final settlement, enabling institutional-grade exposure to East African minerals for corporates, funds, and sophisticated individual buyers.
We screen counterparties against a database of 20,000+ known fraudulent entities, validate titles and export permits at the relevant ministries, and deploy on-site XRF-based assaying teams to confirm origin, grade, and volume.
NordAfrix structures neutral, bank-backed escrow arrangements with regional institutions and vetted legal fiduciaries. Buyer funds are only released once independent assay results at accredited refineries confirm the shipment.
Using blockchain-based protocols such as the Madini Protocol, every gram can be assigned a persistent digital biography, documenting mine of origin, processing pathway, and custody chain.
We prepare artisanal and small-scale mining cooperatives for institutional trade by auditing human rights, environmental practices, and governance, then structuring remediation and documentation plans.
NordAfrix is not limited to a single commodity. Our mandate covers precious metals and stones, critical energy transition minerals, 3T and base metals, and key industrial inputs, all under a unified compliance and verification framework.
Gold, silver, and high-value diamonds from vetted concessions and refinery-partner pipelines.
Lithium (Li₂O), cobalt, and rare earth elements (REEs) powering global electrification and storage.
Tin (cassiterite), tantalum (coltan), tungsten (wolframite), copper, and nickel with high-transparency traceability.
Phosphates, limestone, iron ore, and graphite supporting fertilizers, construction, and battery anodes.
Our geographic architecture is designed to combine regulatory certainty in Norway with operational proximity in East Africa's most strategic mineral jurisdictions.
Corporate headquarters, fiduciary oversight, and primary interface for European industrial, financial, and private buyers.
Hub for precious metals and downstream beneficiation, aligned with Uganda's 2022 Mining and Minerals Act and emerging refinery ecosystem.
Regional center for 3T traceability and certification, leveraging Rwanda's leadership in blockchain-based mineral tracking.
Strategic logistics and transit nexus, coordinating armored movement through partners such as Brink's and G4S while bypassing unvetted intermediaries.
NordAfrix is engineered to sit inside your compliance stack, not outside it. Our processes, documentation, and counterparties are aligned with the frameworks that matter to regulated institutions and serious private capital alike.
Sourcing and documentation designed for DRC conflict-free assurance, with particular emphasis on 3T flows via Rwanda.
Deal reporting and traceability aligned with Dodd-Frank Section 1502 and OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals.
