Puzzle Mining Venture is a US-domiciled partner for the Congolese mining sector. Our team combines Congolese operational roots with American commodity-market and cross-border structuring experience — working directly with mandated producers across Lualaba and Haut-Katanga, and directly with US buyers and federal finance.
We represent vetted mining groups operating legacy assets across Lualaba and Haut-Katanga — no greenfield speculation.
Bankable offtake agreements, streaming structures, and royalty packages shaped for American capital and federal finance.
Concentrate, cathode, and hydroxide moved under the US–DRC Strategic Partnership framework, with traceability end-to-end.
Not every producer suits every buyer. We filter — by grade, by jurisdiction, by compliance posture, by timeline. We introduce qualified producers to qualified buyers when both sides fit. We do not forward leads.
I was born and raised in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I work across English, French, Swahili, and Lingala, and I know the Copperbelt — its producers, its permits, its unwritten rules. Puzzle Mining Venture exists because the distance between an American boardroom and a Congolese mine is shorter than most people realize — but only when someone who has lived on both sides is doing the translation.
We don't represent every asset we're offered. We verify permits at the Cadastre Minier, visit sites personally, and only introduce deals where we know the people on the producer side. Fewer deals, better deals.
