- Shuka Minerals Plc engages in the exploration, development, and mining of critical minerals and energy commodities, including coal, zinc, lead, silver, copper, vanadium oxide, gallium, and germanium, primarily across Africa; the company operates its Rukwa coal mine in southwest Tanzania's Rukwa Basin, where it holds a mining license over the Mkomolo area and produces up to 4,000 tons of coal per month with plans to expand output to 10,000 tons; it also advances the Kabwe zinc-lead mine project in central Zambia through its ongoing acquisition of Leopard Exploration and Mining Limited. Founded in 2004 and headquartered at Aston House, Cornwall Avenue, London, N3 1LF, United Kingdom, Shuka Minerals focuses on mineral-rich regions in Tanzania, Zambia, South Africa, and other African countries, targeting industrial metals and energy sectors with an emphasis on sustainable practices. In recent developments, the company received CCPC authorisation in June 2025 for the Leopard acquisition, settled an initial 22.2% stake in Leopard and the Kabwe mine on 19 November 2025, and secured an increased loan from Gathoni Muchai Investments Limited on 30 June 2025 to fund further tranches up to 49.9% ownership while pursuing non-dilutive financing and ESG-focused redevelopment of Kabwe.
