Genmin draws strong global interest to fund flagship Baniaka iron ore project in Gabon

An update from Genmin Ltd. ( (AU:GEN) ) is now available.

Genmin has attracted strong international interest in financing the estimated US$200 million required to develop its Baniaka iron ore project in Gabon, following site visits and meetings with prospective investors. The proposals include a Middle East consortium’s non-binding joint venture offer for full project funding, a Chinese listed company seeking a majority project stake with financing and technical support, a US$50 million prepayment facility from a global commodities trader, and a US$10 million bridge finance offer from a specialist mining fund.

These non-binding offers sit alongside an existing letter of intent from SHICO to fund up to 60% of project capital, underscoring growing competition among potential partners. Genmin’s board, advised by Azure Capital, Vermilion Partners and Oval Advisory, is negotiating with multiple parties while the Gabonese government has reiterated Baniaka’s status as its top priority mining project and pledged support for cost-effective access to state infrastructure, a stance that could materially de-risk development for Genmin and its stakeholders.
