Our Development Timeline
WHAT WE DO
Kemcore is creating the chemical backbone for Africa’s critical minerals future. We manufacture and supply the essential reagents that power mining, rare earths, and battery mineral processing across the SADC region.
Our model integrates local production, strategic offtakes, and institutional financing to deliver cost savings, supply security, and sustainability — reducing reliance on imports and cutting carbon emissions.
OUR STRATEGIC FOCUS
- Operate integrated chemical assets: Building and relocating plants in Botswana to serve the Copperbelt and beyond.
- Secure Tier-1 partnerships: Long-term offtake agreements with leading mining and industrial groups, including onsite chemical units at major processing plants.
- Mobilize institutional finance: $75m in term sheets from African banks and development financiers, with FCDO support under the Deal Acceleration Programme.
- Embed sustainability & innovation: U.S. technology partnership for xanthate production; reduced CO₂ footprint; circular models for industrial chemicals.
- Deliver local value creation: Job creation, skills transfer, and beneficiation — transforming Africa from importer to producer of essential mining reagents.
WHAT WE DELIVER
- Reliable supply of reagents for mining and energy-transition minerals
- Integrated onsite chemical units that de-risk critical projects
- Lower costs (up to 35% vs imports) and reduced carbon emissions
- An investable platform closing Africa’s equity gap in industrial manufacturing
