Somali American Minerals Company (SAMCO) is a mineral investment and advisory firm registered in the United States. We specialize in identifying, structuring, and advancing mineral opportunities across the Horn of Africa — spanning gold, lithium, niobium, tantalum, and other critical resources.

Our team brings together capital markets expertise and deep on-the-ground relationships across the region. We conduct physical site visits, assess projects first-hand, and structure agreements built to hold across jurisdictions.

The Horn of Africa holds some of the world's most underexplored mineral territory. At a time when reducing dependence on foreign-controlled critical mineral supply chains is a growing priority, SAMCO is positioned at the center of that opportunity.

SAMCO structures mineral investment transactions, conducts on-the-ground due diligence, and advises on deal terms across the Horn of Africa. Our focus spans gold, lithium, niobium, tantalum, and other critical minerals — resources that are increasingly central to reducing US dependence on foreign-controlled supply chains.

We work directly with operators, investors, and government stakeholders, bringing both the regional access and the transactional discipline to move deals from opportunity to close.
