Overview

Leopard Partners is rapidly standing up a data-driven mine-to-port execution program serving Central Africa’s tier-one bauxite developments. Our mandate is simple: turn first ore into first ship—on-spec, on-time, audit-ready—by unifying pit → IRF (intermediate rail facility) → rail → port → ship on one timetable with telemetry, compliance, and lender-grade reporting at every node.

Our corridor model is designed for deposits with high-grade, low-impurity bauxite, and scales to support specialty flows (e.g., calcined/refractory grades via covered storage and, where appropriate, containerized FIBC handling).

Global alumina refineries prize consistent, high-grade bauxite with low reactive silica—and they pay premiums for predictable, compliant delivery. As Central Africa’s long-life projects move toward production, the bottleneck isn’t geology—it’s execution. Leopard turns that constraint into an advantage: we make the corridor’s throughput, paperwork, and ESG bankable for miners, traders, and lenders.

Where we operate

The corridor centers on Cameroon’s central belt, linking inland mine districts to the Atlantic via the national rail spine and deep-sea export terminals. We synchronize operations across in-pit loading, weighing/sampling/moisture control, train load-out, stockyard management (stacker-reclaimer), and high-rate shiploading—built to cut dwell, reduce demurrage, and keep windows. Inland: IRF & TLO sites positioned to minimize haul distances and cycle time. Rail: Reserved train paths and handshakes with rail ops to keep trains full, turned, and on schedule. Port: Dust-managed conveyors and shiploaders; IMSBC/TML controls; GUCE/CNCC and SOLAS VGM integrated.
