Africa’s Digital Infrastructure for Responsible Minerals Development

MADINI was established to address one of the greatest challenges facing Africa’s mineral sector: transparency, traceability and trust across the mineral value chain.

From extraction and transportation to processing, export and final consumption, MADINI provides a secure digital infrastructure enabling governments, investors, mining companies, refiners and consumers to verify the origin, movement and compliance status of mineral products.

Built on blockchain technology and aligned with international responsible sourcing standards, MADINI helps eliminate illicit trade, strengthen supply chain integrity, protect human rights and create new opportunities for investment and market access. By embedding OECD Due Diligence Guidance, Dodd-Frank requirements and EU Battery Regulation standards directly into smart contracts, Madini transforms compliance from a cost centre into a competitive advantage, while creating transparent pathways for artisanal and small-scale miners to participate in formal, fairly priced global markets.

As Africa’s minerals become increasingly strategic to the global energy transition, digital economy and advanced manufacturing sectors, MADINI positions Africa at the forefront of responsible and technology-enabled minerals development. Developed through a strategic partnership between the Africa Minerals Strategy Group and Verichain Technologies, Madini provides a unified, regulator-recognized infrastructure layer for certifying, verifying and trading minerals from mine to OEM.
