Three ways we work
Projects for the long term, field services for teams working in Somaliland now, and buyer-led sourcing when the demand is real.
For exploration companies & JV partners

Why Golis
On the ground in Somaliland, connected to Canada
A mineral project in Somaliland depends on local presence, careful documentation and the right technical and capital partners. That is how we are built.
Based in Somaliland
Our operations founder lives and works in Hargeisa and travels to the sites. Field visits, meetings and logistics are run by people who know Somaliland.
Connected to Canada
A founder in Canada works with exploration companies, technical professionals and investors in Canada and internationally.
Independent technical judgment
We are not geologists. Technical conclusions come from qualified independent professionals and accredited laboratories.
Discipline over promotion
Evidence before claims, rights before spend, and weak projects stopped early. Stakeholder engagement goes through proper channels — no promised permits, and no payments to officials.
Somaliland minerals
Areas of interest in Somaliland
| Commodity | Reported forms | Somaliland regions |
|---|---|---|
| Gold | Artisanal, alluvial and hard-rock occurrences | Awdal, Maroodi Jeex, Sanaag |
| Gemstones | Emerald, aquamarine, ruby, garnet, opal | Sanaag, Awdal |
| Gypsum & Anhydrite | Near-surface deposits | Sahil, Berbera |
| Dimension Stone | Granite, marble and limestone | Maroodi Jeex, Togdheer |
Regional occurrences only — not Golis-owned resources or available supply.
Current stage
Built for the early stage
Golis Minerals is in its formation and project-generation stage in Somaliland. We are building our initial prospect pipeline and technical network. We do not present regional mineral occurrences as Golis-owned resources, and project-specific claims will only be published when rights and independent technical evidence support them.
