Interesting post today from Makor Resources on Linkedin. Here's part of it:
"….saying no to the wrong kind of risk is what creates space to say yes to the right one. Today, We’re focused on something different:
It’s not a risky asset.
It’s a misunderstood model.
One that’s often overlooked, underestimated, or misunderstood: Zambia’s legal, licensed small-scale mining sector.
These are not artisanal operations.
They are formal concessions — typically 400 to 1,200 hectares — held by Zambian owners, sitting on highly prospective copper and critical mineral ground.
They fall outside traditional development frameworks. No JORC. No feasibility. No pathway to capital.
And because of that, they’re labeled “high risk.”
We see it differently.
These assets are not high risk — they are high potential.
What’s missing is not geology. It’s the system around them.
That’s what we’ve been building. Fit-for-purpose infrastructure. Local technical and operational support. A shared model that clusters mines into investable hubs with centralized processing, responsible offtake, and traceable production.
This is the hard work that institutional capital often won’t take on. But it’s the work required to unlock an entirely new tier of value across Africa.
This is what investable risk looks like to us:
Measured. Structural. Scalable.
And it’s where I believe the future of responsible mining will be shaped —
Not just by billion-dollar projects, but by the systems that make the $20M, $50M, and $100M opportunities viable. From the clusters of small, smart, licensed mines that make up the missing middle.
If we’re serious about the energy transition, we need to be serious about the missing middle.
And that’s exactly where we’ve chosen to build."
The photo's in the post are from the Munkoyo project so maybe they (and Ricus) are still involved with Jubilee, just not directly employed as before?
