Unlocking Africa’s Critical Mineral Supply Chains
About Us
Bridging Africa’s Critical Minerals with the World’s Energy Future
At Dodeca Resources, we believe Africa holds the key to the world’s energy transition. Our mission is to unlock this vast mineral potential by delivering sustainable, traceable, and scalable mining development across the continent.
We are a mineral project execution firm focused on critical resources like Lithium, Tantalite, Graphite, and Beryl, operating with full transparency and environmental responsibility. Our operations are designed to meet the highest international compliance standards, particularly those set by the EU Battery Regulation, Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), and other global ESG frameworks.
Why Africa? Why Now?
Africa’s mineral-rich regions are essential to powering the future—from electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy to aerospace technologies and semiconductors. But developing these resources responsibly requires more than access—it requires deep local insight, operational experience, and regulatory foresight.
Dodeca Resources was created to meet this challenge. We bring together local presence, engineering expertise, and global compliance standards to ensure that Africa’s critical minerals reach international markets through legal, sustainable, and ethical channels.
Our Focus: Lithium Mozambique & Beyond
Our flagship operations are concentrated in the Ligonha Belt of Mozambique, a region known for its rich deposits of lithium-bearing pegmatites, tantalite, feldspar, and beryl. All sites are supported by:
Valid mining titles
Environmental impact assessments
Community engagement and support
Legal and commercial readiness
Beyond Mozambique, we are actively developing exploration and partnership strategies in Angola, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, regions with underexplored potential for rare earths, graphite, and lithium extensions.
Our Core Principles
We operate on three foundational pillars:
Access
We maintain direct control over mining concessions across strategic locations including Mozambique, Angola, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa. Through long-standing relationships with government agencies, tribal councils, and community leaders, we secure privileged access to high-value, early-stage mineral assets.
Execution
Our multidisciplinary team of geologists, mining engineers, project managers, and field operators ensure rapid, safe, and professional execution—from exploration and permitting to full-scale operations. We manage the entire mineral project lifecycle, reducing friction and improving speed-to-market for our partners.
Alignment
Everything we do is aligned with global compliance standards, including: EU Battery Regulation ESG and CSR Frameworks Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Environmental and biodiversity laws We ensure full traceability from mine to market, with documented ESG performance, stakeholder engagement plans, and certified regulatory documentation.
