EAXI’s Mission: To enhance understanding of the base metal and gold exploration potential across East Africa — focusing initially on Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi, and Mozambique. Through integrated research, data harmonisation, and capacity building, EAXI seeks to unlock the geological “anatomy” of the region and improve exploration success.
Program Highlights:
Regional geological integration and mineral systems analysis (Au, Li, and rare metals)
- High-quality regional datasets and geodynamic mapping
- Training and professional capacity building for local geoscientists
- Collaboration between industry, academia, and government
We are actively recruiting additional sponsors and invite companies, and explorers passionate about advancing exploration in East Africa to join this transformative journey.
