What we do
Three ways we work
Golis Minerals is a minerals company, not only an advisor. We buy and supply, we develop and co-invest, and we advise — all on the same Somaliland relationships.
01 · For buyers & offtakers
Mineral Sourcing & Supply
Tell us the mineral and the specification. We find the Somaliland supply, verify what is on offer, handle the licensing and export paperwork, and move product to the Port of Berbera.
What this covers
- Supply identification and site verification against your target spec
- Independent assay and quality checks through accredited labs
- Aggregation from artisanal and small-scale producers
- Export licensing, documentation and customs clearance
- Transport to the Port of Berbera and shipment coordination
- Offtake and supply-agreement facilitation
02 · For investors & partners
Project Development & JV
We originate mining opportunities, secure the ground under licence, structure the joint venture and bring in operators — with the government and community agreements in place before capital is committed.
What this covers
- Opportunity origination across gold, gemstones and industrial minerals
- Mineral licence acquisition under the Somaliland Mining Code
- Commissioned exploration and feasibility work to recognised standards
- Joint venture structuring and capital-partner introductions
- Operator selection and management
- Community development and government agreements
03 · For companies operating here
Advisory & Market Entry
The groundwork that keeps a project compliant and running in Somaliland — licensing and regulatory support, ESG and community programmes, operations and logistics, and training.
What this covers
- Licensing, renewals and regulatory compliance
- Environmental & social impact assessment (ESIA) and community agreements
- Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) formalisation
- Mine planning, contractor selection and Berbera corridor logistics
- Regulator and local-supplier capacity building
How it runs
From first call to delivery
Whether it is a sourcing order or a joint venture, the path is the same shape.
- 01
Tell us what you need
A mineral and spec to source, a project to develop, or a problem to solve. A short call, no charge, no obligation.
- 02
Scope & terms
A written scope — deliverables, timeline, and either a fee or a joint-venture structure, depending on the work.
- 03
Ground & agreements
We secure the licence or supply, and put the government and community agreements in place before anything moves.
- 04
Delivery
Sourcing and shipment, or the development programme — technical work commissioned to recognised standards and managed by us.
- 05
Ongoing
Supply continuity, project follow-through, or retained advisory as the relationship develops.
What sets us apart
Why work through us
Government & community access
Standing relationships across Somaliland government and local leadership — the access that licensing, land and local buy-in depend on.
End to end — ground to port
We cover the whole chain: finding supply, proving it, permitting it, and shipping it from Berbera.
Aligned through JV
On projects we develop, we co-invest. Our return depends on the project working — not on a fee for the introduction.
Local team, recognised standards
Somaliland-based, with technical work commissioned to JORC, NI 43-101 and IFC Performance Standard practice.
