American Renaissance Minerals | Nkamouna Cobalt-Nickel Project

Overview

A Proposed Strategic Critical Minerals Partnership between Cameroon and the United States

Nkamouna is one of the largest undeveloped nickel-cobalt projects globally, located in the Haut Nyong Division, East Province of Cameroon. Over USD $120 million has been invested in the project under past ownership, including USD $40 million by the Cameroonian government through its sovereign wealth fund.

American Renaissance Minerals (ARM), a consortium formed by a private equity firm and a publicly traded entity together with local partner Codias, is proposing to finally develop Nkamouna. The initiative is supported by the U.S. Government, including advocacy from the Department of Commerce and the State Department as well as financial pathways and US Government offtake.

ARM has negotiated with the prior owners of the license the use of all historical data, saving many years of work.

The project represents a unique convergence of strategic interests: securing Western critical-mineral supply chains, advancing Cameroon's mining sector, and delivering responsible resource development backed by American technical expertise and capital and offtake.

                        Key Highlights
                        01 Greenfield critical minerals project with 1,650 km² mining area
02 Large polymetallic Cobalt Nickel Manganese ore body with only 10% of license area explored
03 Previously owned by Geovic Cameroon Plc
04 Feasibility-level studies completed by Tier-1 consultants
05 Stable regulatory framework with supportive local government policies
