In the heart of Africa’s rich mineral landscape, BCM Investments Limited stands as a beacon of mining excellence. Founded by the visionary Paul List, an Australian-Ghanaian with decades of experience in the industry, BCM Investments has carved a niche for itself as a leading mining investor company in Africa, with a diverse portfolio of assets across several countries.
The company’s journey began in 2016 with the acquisition of Adamus Resources Limited, a gold mine in Ghana. This marked the start of BCM Investments’ strategic plan to acquire and develop high-quality mines in Africa, while creating sustainable value for shareholders, stakeholders, and host communities. BCM Investments’ expansion continued in 2018 with the acquisition of Segala Mining SA, a gold mine in Mali. In 2019, the company made a significant move by purchasing 80% of Samira Hill SA, a gold mine in Niger, from the government of Niger. The company’s portfolio further expanded in 2020 with the acquisition of Northern Ashanti Mines Co. Ltd., a gold mine in Ghana.
Today, BCM Investments boasts an impressive collection of mining operations, including the Adamus mine in Ghana, which produces approximately 250,000 ounces of gold annually. The company is actively working to increase production from its other mines, aiming to become a major player in Africa’s gold mining industry.
Beyond gold, BCM Investments is also exploring and developing other mineral resources in Africa. The company has an advanced mine in Burkina Faso, which is expected to commence production by the end of 2023. Additionally, BCM Investments holds exploration licenses in Sierra Leone and Liberia, demonstrating its commitment to unlocking the mineral wealth of the African continent. BCM Investments stands out for its responsible and sustainable approach to mining.
The company employs a workforce of approximately 3,000 people, with a focus on hiring local workers and promoting local management. BCM Investments actively engages with host communities, ensuring that mining activities benefit local economies and foster sustainable development.
As BCM Investments continues to expand its operations and explore new frontiers in Africa, the company remains committed to delivering value to its stakeholders, while contributing to the economic growth and prosperity of the African continent.
