AquaVolt Capital · Critical Minerals Desk
Africa holds the copper, lithium, graphite, rare earths and manganese the energy transition depends on. Project after project stalls on the same thing — the power, grid, rail, port and water infrastructure a mine needs but cannot carry alone. We arrange and structure the blended finance that closes that gap and walks it to financial close.
Capital is provided by our institutional financing partners, development banks and export-credit agencies. AquaVolt originates, structures and arranges — it does not lend or invest from its own balance sheet.
Start a conversation How we workHow we work
We work between mine sponsors, state co-owners and the financiers who fund enabling infrastructure — arranging the structure that makes a project bankable without loading the power, rail, port or water onto the sponsor's or the sovereign's balance sheet.
We assemble bankable capital stacks across sponsor equity, ECA-backed equipment finance, DFI-concessional and climate capital, and senior debt — shaped to the project, not off a shelf.
We map each enabling-infrastructure gap to the development, export-credit and climate financiers most likely to fund it, and coordinate them into a single, fundable structure.
We coordinate sponsors, financiers and public co-owners from first mandate to financial close — keeping the enabling infrastructure off the sponsor's and the sovereign's balance sheet.
Structured-finance conversations are held privately, with professional and institutional counterparties only. Tell us about the project and the enabling-infrastructure gap, and we'll come back on how a bankable structure could be shaped.
