Executive Summary

Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd is a Zimbabwe-registered, Harare-based lithium mining company developing a mid-scale open-pit operation in the Mazowe district of Mashonaland Central. We are advancing lithium-bearing pegmatite deposits into export-grade spodumene concentrate for battery material traders, cathode manufacturers, and industrial mineral buyers in China, Europe, and South Africa.

Our model is built around reliable tonnage, consistent concentrate quality, and disciplined ESG and safety performance. We are not pursuing speculative landholding or raw ore sales; we are building a contract-ready mining business with a clear path from resource definition to steady-state production.

The Business We Are Building

We will produce spodumene concentrate in the 5.5%–6.0% Li₂O range and sell it under long-term offtake agreements and selective spot contracts. Our initial production target is 1,200 tonnes per month in Year 1, rising to 2,000 tonnes per month by Year 3 as plant utilisation improves and the mine plan deepens.

The business is led by a management team with direct mining, geology, finance, commercial, and ESG experience. Jamie Okafor, our Chief Operating Officer, is a mining engineer with 15 years of open-pit operations experience across Southern Africa. Skyler Park, our Chief Geologist, holds an MSc in Economic Geology and brings more than 10 years of lithium and pegmatite exploration experience in Africa. Riley Thompson, our Chief Financial Officer, is a chartered accountant with 12 years in mining finance, project evaluation, and treasury.

Quinn Dubois, our Commercial Director, brings 10 years of commodity trading and mineral offtake negotiation experience, and Jordan Ramirez, our ESG and Community Relations Manager, has 8 years of experience in community engagement, environmental compliance, and social impact programmes. Together, this team gives Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd the technical depth and commercial credibility required by investors and off-takers.

Market Opportunity

Zimbabwe remains one of Africa’s most important hard-rock lithium jurisdictions, yet much of its resource base is still underdeveloped or inconsistently supplied. That gap creates a strong opening for a disciplined producer that can offer secure, traceable, export-ready concentrate from a stable operating structure.

Our target buyers are international lithium concentrate off-takers buying 10,000 tonnes to 50,000 tonnes per year. We are positioned to win business from a relatively small group of serious buyers who need dependable feedstock and can complete technical due diligence quickly.

Funding Ask and Capital Structure

We are seeking USD 6,500,000 in total project funding to take Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd from advanced exploration through to steady-state production. The capital stack is structured with USD 2,000,000 in equity from the founder and local partners, and USD 4,500,000 in debt at 12.5% over 5 years.

This funding level gives us the plant, mine development, mobile equipment, geological work, site infrastructure, licensing readiness, and working capital required to commission the operation and protect the ramp-up period. The debt profile is well covered by operating cash flow, with a Year 1 DSCR of 5.87 that rises to 21.06 by Year 5.

Why This Project Is Financeable

The project is financeable because the commercial structure is simple, the product is in global demand, and the forecast cash flow is strong. We are not depending on a speculative downstream plant or an unproven revenue stream.

The model shows Year 1 operating cash flow of USD 4,919,220, closing cash of USD 5,819,220, and a steadily strengthening balance sheet through the forecast period. By Year 5, closing cash reaches USD 52,573,884, which gives the company room to reinvest, reduce leverage, and negotiate from a stronger position with buyers and financiers.

Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd is therefore positioned as a disciplined Zimbabwean lithium producer with a clear export market, an experienced leadership team, and an investment case built on real operating economics rather than assumptions.

Company Description

Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd is a privately held Zimbabwean mining company incorporated in Zimbabwe and headquartered in Harare. We hold mining claims in the Mazowe district of Mashonaland Central, where our core development focus is a mid-scale open-pit lithium operation built around lithium-bearing pegmatite deposits.

Our Legal Structure and Ownership

Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd operates as a private limited company under Zimbabwean law and uses USD as the functional currency for planning, contracting, and financial reporting. Our structure is designed to support disciplined project execution, clear shareholder rights, and transparent reporting to equity and debt partners.

The company is majority-owned by the founder, who holds 55% of the equity and leads overall strategy, stakeholder engagement, and project delivery. The remaining equity is held by local partners and a technical partner in minority stakes that remain fully compliant with Zimbabwean mining regulations.

Equity Position and Control

Our ownership model aligns commercial control with technical accountability. The founder retains decisive strategic control, while local partners strengthen in-country alignment and the technical partner supports project execution and mining discipline.

• Founder / majority shareholder: 55%
• Local partners: minority equity positions
• Technical partner: minority equity position

This structure gives Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd the ability to move quickly on development decisions while preserving local participation and regulatory compliance.

Where We Operate

Our head office is in Harare, Zimbabwe, which gives us direct access to ministries, financiers, logistics networks, and commercial service providers. Our operating footprint is in the Mazowe district of Mashonaland Central, where the mining claims are located and where our planned open-pit mine, processing facilities, and supporting infrastructure will be developed.

That location matters commercially because Zimbabwe remains one of Africa’s most important hard-rock lithium jurisdictions. Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd is positioned to convert local geological potential into a consistently saleable export product for regional and international buyers.

What We Do

We identify, drill, develop, and operate lithium-bearing pegmatite deposits, then process ore at site into spodumene concentrate suitable for export. Our business is built around producing concentrate in the 5.5%–6.0% Li₂O range, which is the specification required by battery material traders, cathode manufacturers, and industrial mineral buyers.

Our commercial model is straightforward. We sell to buyers who need secure, reliable lithium supply and who are increasingly demanding traceability, modern ESG controls, and dependable contract performance. We focus on delivering material that can move from mine gate to export channel with minimal operational friction.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to build one of Zimbabwe’s most disciplined lithium mining businesses by converting high-potential pegmatite assets into reliable spodumene concentrate production for global markets. We exist to supply customers who value consistency, technical quality, and responsible mine management as much as they value grade and tonnage.

We are building a mine that global buyers can contract with confidently, because quality, compliance, and delivery are embedded into the operation from the start.

Who We Serve

Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd serves regional and international off-takers that purchase lithium concentrate in commercial volumes. Our target customers include:

• Battery material traders
• Cathode manufacturers
• Industrial mineral buyers
• Long-term off-take counterparties
• Spot-market commodity buyers

Our core export markets are China, Europe, and South Africa, where buyers need feedstock for lithium chemical conversion and battery supply chains. These customers typically require annual volumes in the range of 10,000 tonnes to 50,000 tonnes, which makes our mid-scale production strategy commercially relevant without forcing us into overbuilt infrastructure.

Why Our Business Exists

Zimbabwe has world-class lithium endowment, but many deposits remain underdeveloped, undercapitalized, or poorly managed. We created Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd to solve that gap by combining geological opportunity with operational discipline, modern safety systems, and professional commercial execution.

Our customers are not buying geology alone. They are buying certainty of supply, compliance visibility, and a project team capable of moving from exploration into consistent production without avoidable delays.

Our Leadership Team

The company is led by a management team with direct mining, geology, finance, commercial, and ESG capability.

Jamie Okafor, our Chief Operating Officer, is a mining engineer with 15 years of open-pit operations experience across gold and base metals in Southern Africa. He has commissioned two greenfield mines from construction to steady-state production and is responsible for operational discipline, mining execution, and throughput delivery.

Skyler Park, our Chief Geologist, holds an MSc in Economic Geology and has over 10 years of lithium and pegmatite exploration experience in Africa. She leads resource definition, grade control, and mine planning support, which are central to maintaining concentrate quality and mine-life visibility.

Riley Thompson, our Chief Financial Officer, is a chartered accountant with 12 years in mining finance, project evaluation, and treasury. He oversees budgeting, capital discipline, investor reporting, and the financial controls required for lender and equity confidence.

Quinn Dubois, our Commercial Director, has 10 years of experience in commodity trading and mineral offtake negotiations. He manages buyer engagement, contract discussions, and market positioning with relationships across Asian and European battery material markets.

Jordan Ramirez, our ESG and Community Relations Manager, brings 8 years of experience in community engagement, environmental compliance, and social impact programmes for mining projects in Zimbabwe and Zambia. He leads stakeholder relations, ESG reporting, and the social license to operate.

Our Operating Philosophy

We are not building a speculative trading vehicle. We are building a mining company with a clear asset base, a defined product, and a customer profile that demands repeatability. That means our decisions are guided by grade control, cost discipline, environmental compliance, and the ability to convert ore into marketable concentrate at predictable quality.

What Makes Us Different

Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd is differentiated by its focus on mid-scale, high-grade, low-cost production rather than scale for its own sake. We are also prioritising ESG compliance, community development, and transparent reporting because institutional off-takers increasingly prefer ethically sourced lithium from stable, traceable supply chains.

That positioning makes us attractive to buyers who want more than a tonnage supplier. They want a counterpart they can diligence, contract with, and scale alongside.

Founding and Development Stage

Mazowe Lithium Resources (Pvt) Ltd is already registered and operationally positioned for advanced exploration and mine development. Our founding was driven by the recognition that Zimbabwe’s lithium sector needs producers that can combine technical competence with commercial reliability.

Our current phase is the transition from exploration and resource definition into mine development, plant deployment, and production ramp-up. The project is designed to support steady-state export sales once commissioning is complete.

:::tip How We Present the Company to Buyers
