Countries We Work In
On-the-ground experience across key African markets
Based in London, HAR-CHE operates in around 14 African countries where regulatory complexity, resource potential and government engagement play a decisive role in project success.
Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
The DRC is one of Africa’s most resource-rich and complex markets. It is a global leader in cobalt and a major producer of copper, gold, and diamonds, with mining contributing the majority of export earnings. HAR-CHE supports clients navigating cadastre systems, licence sequencing, community dynamics, and government engagement in one of the continent’s most sensitive regulatory environments.
Guinea
Guinea holds some of the world’s largest bauxite reserves and is a critical supplier to global aluminium value chains. The country presents significant opportunity alongside complex permitting, land access, and government processes. HAR-CHE supports market entry, licence structuring, and stakeholder alignment for extractive and infrastructure projects.
Mozambique
Mozambique is a strategic Southern African market with major natural gas reserves, coal resources, and port access to the Indian Ocean. Its location makes it a critical corridor for regional trade. HAR-CHE supports clients navigating energy regulation, logistics routes, and cross-border considerations.
Tanzania
Tanzania is one of Africa’s leading gold producers and a diversified mining jurisdiction with growing energy and infrastructure development. As a member of SADC, it offers regional market access alongside evolving regulatory frameworks. HAR-CHE helps clients align sector regulations, government expectations, and operational planning.
Angola
Angola is a major energy and resources market, combining world-class offshore oil production with significant diamond and mineral potential. As Africa’s second-largest oil producer, the country requires careful navigation of state institutions and sector regulators. HAR-CHE supports government engagement, permitting strategies, and partner structuring.
Mali
Mali is a leading gold-producing country in West Africa, with mining as a cornerstone of its economy. Projects require strong alignment with ministries, local authorities, and communities. HAR-CHE supports permit roadmaps, risk assessment, and operational planning in challenging environments.
Other African markets
Considering a different African market?
Beyond the countries listed above, HAR-CHE can assess other jurisdictions – such as Zambia, Ghana, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa and selected East African markets – based on regulatory clarity, political context and execution risk before advising clients to proceed.
