The partnership represents an important milestone in Almobak Resources’ continued expansion within the Southern African mining industry, particularly in the growing battery minerals and critical minerals sector.

Strategic Partnership Overview

The collaboration brings together the technical capabilities and local operating experience of Almobak Resources with the project development interests of African Compass International.

Almobak Resources will play a key role in supporting the technical evaluation and advancement of identified lithium opportunities, providing locally based expertise throughout the exploration and development stages.

The partnership is intended to establish an effective framework for identifying, evaluating and progressively advancing prospective lithium assets towards future development and investment decisions.

Key Areas of Collaboration

Geological Exploration and Resource Evaluation

Almobak Resources will provide technical expertise in geological mapping, mineral exploration planning, sampling programmes, resource evaluation and geological modelling to support the assessment of prospective lithium deposits.

Technical Due Diligence and Project Assessment

The company will undertake technical evaluations of potential lithium projects, assessing geological potential, available exploration data, development opportunities and technical risks.

Exploration Programme Development

The partnership will support the planning, coordination and implementation of exploration programmes designed to improve geological understanding and advance identified mineral targets.
