To bridge U.S. strategic mineral demand with Africa’s world‑class geological endowment — while ensuring responsible development, transparent governance, and long-term economic value for host nations.
The USA–Africa Critical Metals Fund (US‑ACMF) is a U.S. registered investment vehicle designed to mobilize institutional capital into high‑quality copper and gold assets across Sub‑Saharan Africa.
We operate in full alignment with the 2025 U.S.–DRC Strategic Partnership Agreement, enabling:
This positions US‑ACMF as a preferred partner for U.S. buyers, OEMs, and government agencies.
Discovering Opportunity Across Africa's Great Mining Frontiers
Africa hosts some of the most remarkable mineral provinces on Earth.
From the ancient goldfields that helped build the kingdoms of Southern Africa to the copper-rich savannahs of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, these regions have supplied metals that shaped global civilization for more than a century.
Today, they are once again becoming strategically important as the world seeks secure supplies of copper, cobalt, gold and other critical minerals essential for electrification, advanced manufacturing and national security.
US-ACMF provides investors with access to these opportunities through a disciplined, institutional platform focused on responsible development, transparency and long-term value creation.
Zambia – The Heart of Africa's Copperbelt
The Zambian Copperbelt is one of the world's great mineral provinces.
Stretching along the northern frontier of Zambia, this region hosts some of the largest copper deposits ever discovered. Copper mining has shaped local communities for nearly a century and remains the backbone of the country's economy.
Interesting fact:
The Copperbelt contains some ore bodies that can be traced for hundreds of kilometres across Zambia and the DRC, forming one of the largest contiguous mineral systems on Earth.
Democratic Republic of Congo – A Geological Giant
The DRC contains an extraordinary concentration of strategic minerals.
Its copper and cobalt deposits helped supply the industrial revolution and today play a critical role in electric vehicles, battery manufacturing and advanced technologies.
Interesting fact:
The Central African Copperbelt is estimated to contain more than half of the world's known cobalt reserves.
South Africa – The World's Historic Gold Capital
For more than a century South Africa has been synonymous with gold.
The discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand transformed Johannesburg from a small settlement into Africa's largest economic centre.
Interesting fact:
The Witwatersrand Basin has produced more gold than any other geological formation in history.
All assets are acquired and operated through NetZerO Minerals & Energy, a Mauritius‑domiciled holding company with subsidiaries in South Africa, Zambia, and the DRC.
NetZerO integrates:
This structure ensures regulatory clarity, investor protection, and alignment with U.S. and African legal frameworks.
Our Geographic Focus
Copper
Large-scale tailings recovery, brownfield expansions, and new strategic assets in Zambia and the DRC — building toward 500,000 tons per year of copper production by 2035.
Gold
Joint ventures and acquisitions of past-producing South African mines with ~30Moz SAMREC-compliant resources, targeting 500,000 oz/year from 2035.
Five Decades of African Mining Experience
For over 50+ years, Jan King and his team have built relationships across Africa's mining sector, identifying, evaluating, financing, and developing resource opportunities across multiple jurisdictions.
Unlike many recent entrants to the critical minerals sector, USACMF combines:
This experience enables the team to identify opportunities before they become broadly marketed and to navigate the practical realities of developing projects in Africa.
Local Presence Matters
Many international investors approach Africa from New York, London, or Toronto. USACMF's model is built around local knowledge and long-term relationships.
The team's network includes:
These relationships help reduce execution risk, improve project access, and support responsible long-term development.
