Uganda stands out as one of East Africa’s most dynamic, rapidly expanding economies, offering a highly attractive environment for long-term international resource investment.
Supported by robust institutional backing, strategic infrastructure growth, and deep East African stability, the country provides the essential operational certainty required to bring major mineral deposits to development. Uganda is emerging as a primary growth engine in East Africa. Economic expansion is poised for an unprecedented acceleration, propelled by the onset of commercial oil and gas production and exports starting in 2026.
This monumental shift in the energy sector will fundamentally boost national GDP, strengthen fiscal reserves, and catalyze extensive public investment in logistics, energy grids, and transport links – directly benefiting large-scale industrial mining projects. The Ugandan Government is actively seeking to build up its mining and resources sector and is providing tangible support to advanced stage projects such as Orom-Cross.
World-class, modern mining economy
Orom-Cross
The development of major resource projects, including the flagship Orom-Cross graphite project, sits at the heart of this national strategy, positioning Uganda as a dependable global supplier of industrial and battery-grade minerals.
Pro-investment
Strategic mining operations benefit from decisive government support across all regulatory levels – local, regional, and national – ensuring clear regulatory pathways and transparent operational oversight.
Safety & stability
Uganda offers a secure, peaceful operational climate characterised by sustained national political stability. The country has maintained complete domestic peace and freedom from militant activity for decades, establishing a safe standard of security for international workforce deployment, asset protection, and supply chain continuity.
Dynamic workforce
With one of the world’s youngest and fastest-growing demographics, Uganda provides access to an energetic, highly educated, and ambitious local workforce.
- Over 70% of the population is under 30, highly trainable, and eager for skilled opportunities.
- Strong national literacy and university graduate output yield qualified technical and operational talent.
- Tapping into local human capital creates long-term value, fostering deep community partnerships and sustainable operations.
Through a combination of fiscal momentum, low sovereign risk, strong government alignment, and rich human capital, Uganda provides the ideal environment to build and scale long-life mining operations.
Thitional for Orom-Cross. The substantial increase in Ore Reserves and Indicated Resources confirms the quality, scale and longevity of the project as we move into the DFS and financing phase.
The remaining 192 exploration holes and the deep drilling results, which all ended in mineralisation, highlight the huge potential for further JORC Resource upgrades still ahead of us in early 2026.
