Science-First Exploration

We treat mineral exploration as a scientific discipline. Our in-house team of geologists, geochemists, and data scientists conducts the research — we don’t outsource the thinking.

Privately Capitalised

We operate with our own capital, independently and without fundraising cycles. When the geology supports a decision, we act — with the speed and conviction that listed companies cannot match.

Grounded in Africa

We have established operations in West Africa and active interests across the continent. Our model is built on trusted local partnerships, long-term commitment, and deep respect for the communities where we work.

✓
Proven Operational Track Record

PMH has established active mining operations in West Africa, with a validated operational model, trusted local partnerships, and compliant trading channels. We are not a concept — we are an operating business building a portfolio of producing and exploration-stage assets.

Our Firm

Who We Are

A science-driven mineral exploration and mining investment firm, bridging geological expertise with advanced technology and deep local partnerships.

Paramount Matter Holdings (“PMH”) is the parent investment group overseeing a portfolio of companies operating across the mineral exploration and natural resources sector. We combine deep geological expertise with advanced technology to identify, acquire, and develop high-potential mineral assets in underexplored regions.

Our mission is to unlock overlooked geological potential and transform it into high-value, market-recognized assets.

What Sets Us Apart

Unlike traditional junior mining companies that rely on capital markets to fund exploration and sell projects, PMH takes a fundamentally different approach. We are a privately capitalised firm with in-house geological research capability. Our team conducts the science. Our capital funds the work. Our decisions are driven by geology, not fundraising cycles.

This independence gives us the freedom to move quickly, deploy capital with precision, and maintain operational control from target identification through to development. We are not beholden to quarterly reporting cycles or external shareholders — only to the quality of the geology and the strength of our partnerships.

Our Partnership Philosophy

We believe the quality of local partnerships determines project success. In every jurisdiction, we work alongside trusted local partners who bring deep community relationships, regulatory knowledge, and operational insight. Our model is collaborative, not extractive — we build for the long term, share value with the communities where we operate, and invest in relationships that outlast any single project.

This is not a principle we adopted from a textbook. It is a lesson we learned firsthand through years of operating in West Africa, where the right local partner is the single most important factor in whether a project succeeds or fails.

Our Focus
Gold

Primary commodity focus across West and Southern Africa

Strategic Minerals

Copper, polymetallic deposits, and rare earth elements in select jurisdictions

Macro Context

Gold prices have nearly doubled over the past five years, yet early-stage exploration remains severely underfunded. Africa’s share of global exploration spending has declined from 16% to 12% — underscoring systemic underinvestment amid rising demand. This structural gap creates a rare window for well-capitalised, science-driven explorers to acquire premium assets at favourable terms.

Our Approach

Science First. Geology Decides.

Structured methodology. Advanced technology. Decisive execution.

Methodology

A Systematic, Multi-Scale Approach

Exploration at PMH progresses systematically from regional analysis to drill-ready targets. Each phase narrows the search area while increasing geological confidence.

Regional
Scale

Tectonic Framework & Target Generation

Our structural geology team maps crustal architecture and tectonic evolution to define metallogenic belts and identify first-order targets. This foundational work — conducted by scientists who have mapped terrain across Africa, South America, and Central Asia — determines where we look.

Project
Scale

Multi-Layer Data Integration

Within priority areas, we integrate geological mapping, geochemical sampling, geophysical surveys, and satellite imagery into a unified targeting model. Each data layer adds resolution; together they reveal subsurface patterns that no single method can detect alone.

Target
Scale

Validation & Drill Planning

The most promising targets advance to field verification, detailed sampling, and ultimately drilling — the definitive test of any exploration hypothesis. Our team has planned and overseen drill programmes across multiple continents.

Technology

Technology as a Force Multiplier

Satellite Remote Sensing

Multi-source imagery for rapid alteration zone identification across large license holdings

Machine Learning

AI models trained on geospatial and geochemical datasets to predict concealed mineralization trends

Hyperspectral Analysis

Automated lithology and mineral identification using SWIR/TIR spectral data

Integrated Platforms

Centralised databases enabling real-time collaboration across Singapore, Hong Kong, and field teams

How We Partner

Building Local Partnerships. Investing in Early-Stage Assets.

We believe the best projects are built together. PMH actively seeks partnerships with local license holders, community leaders, junior explorers, and independent operators across our target regions. We are open to all forms of collaboration — from joint ventures and earn-in agreements to full project acquisitions — and we welcome proposals at any stage.

If you have geological potential and local knowledge, we bring the capital, technical team, and international infrastructure to move a project forward.

We Are Actively Looking for Early-Stage Investment Opportunities In:
Gold
Core Focus

Our primary commodity and the foundation of our portfolio. We are seeking gold exploration and near-production assets across West and Southern Africa — from grassroots targets to advanced projects with defined resources.

Copper
Strategic Priority

A critical metal for the global energy transition. We are interested in copper exploration opportunities in proven geological belts, particularly where polymetallic potential adds upside.

Rare Earths & Strategic Minerals
Selective Interest

We evaluate high-quality rare earth and strategic mineral opportunities on a selective basis, focusing on jurisdictions with clear regulatory pathways and geological merit.

What We Bring to a Partnership
→Exploration and development capital
→In-house geological, geochemical, and geophysical expertise
→Satellite remote sensing and AI-driven target generation
→International compliance, trading, and offtake infrastructure
→Long-term commitment — we don’t walk away after one season
What We Look For in a Partner
→Genuine local knowledge and community trust
→Licenses in geologically prospective areas
→Transparency and willingness to operate within structured frameworks
→Alignment on long-term value creation, not short-term extraction
→Openness to working together — we are flexible on deal structure

Speed Without Compromise

As a privately capitalised firm, we are not constrained by fundraising cycles or public reporting timelines. When the data supports a decision, we act — at a pace listed companies cannot match, with the rigour institutional partners expect.
