Central Africa Investment Platform — Vika Group
American Foundations · African Industrial Future
Central Africa Investment Platform
Vika Group closes the gap between Africa's critical-mineral endowment and the global industrial systems that depend on it — building the platforms, infrastructure and strategic partnerships that make that connection commercially viable and strategically durable.
The Investment Case
Why Central Africa. Why Now.
Central Africa sits at the intersection of the global energy transition, U.S. supply chain security, and the largest untapped industrial growth corridor on earth. The DRC holds approximately 46% of the world's known cobalt reserves — the largest national share of any country — and accounts for approximately 74% of global cobalt production (USGS MCS 2024). The country also holds the world's largest coltan deposits and significant gold, copper, and lithium resources. Zambia is the continent's second-largest copper producer. Angola is a major oil and gas economy diversifying into infrastructure and logistics. Together, these three markets form a contiguous industrial corridor of strategic importance and structural underinvestment.
The Integrated Platform
Four Sectors. One Integrated Institution.
Vika Group is an operating institution, building, owning, and managing real assets across four interconnected sectors. Each platform reinforces the others, creating an integrated industrial ecosystem designed for long-term value creation.
Vika Resources
Critical Minerals & Resource Development
Vika Resources is developing an integrated critical minerals industrial platform in the DRC. Phase One is anchored by the development of a medium-scale copper mining operation and a modern concentrator. Through integrated mining, mineral processing, energy, logistics, workforce infrastructure, and supply-chain systems, Vika Resources is developing a commercially sustainable critical minerals platform designed to support responsible production, local value addition, and long-term industrial capability. Gold development in Eastern DRC and the long-term evaluation of additional strategic minerals complement the copper foundation.

Strategic Geography
The Lobito Corridor and Beyond.
The Lobito Corridor, running from the Atlantic port of Lobito in Angola through Zambia to the DRC's Copperbelt, is emerging as one of the world's most consequential industrial trade routes. Vika Group's platform assets are positioned along and adjacent to this corridor, creating a geographically coherent operating footprint that serves the infrastructure demands of the region's industrial growth.
