The Ndege Group® Awards "NDEGE GOLD" Project Lead to LINC Holdings International SARL
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - 2ND FEB 2026
NAIROBI, KENYA
Africa’s Sovereign Development Trust® (ASDT) executes a multi-national mineral mandate spanning several thousand square kilometres to anchor artisanal dignity via the Nairobi sovereign hub.
The Cornerstone Partnership
The Ndege Group, acting for Africa’s Sovereign Development Trust® (ASDT), confirms the formal execution of a Mutual Non-Disclosure, Non-Circumvention, and Preliminary Service Level Agreement (SLA) with LINC Holdings International SARL. This milestone establishes the official appointment of LINC as the "Ndege Gold" Project Lead for the Trust’s sovereign mineral coordination efforts across the continent.
The agreement provides the legal and operational substrate for the coordination of several thousand square kilometres of mining concessions. This strategic framework encompasses the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda, Burundi, South Sudan, Ghana, and Liberia. Under this mandate, the Trust and its capital partners shall establish dedicated Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) to retain majority shareholding in these concessions, with negotiated options to acquire the remaining equity—generally circa 30%—from long-standing artisanal cooperatives and registered associations at rates that reflect the true value of their labour.
Recognising that mineral wealth is meaningless without social stability, the Trust commits to a comprehensive social infrastructure programme at the point of extraction. This involves the construction of modern clinics, schools, resource centres, and barter trading canteens at the grassroots level. These outposts serve as the first point of contact where artisanal suppliers can deposit gold value amounts. Every deposit is subject to rigorous verification via XRF technology and SGS-confirmed reporting, managed directly by The Ndege Group’s geologists to ensure a fair, transparent valuation for every supplier.
To ensure absolute integrity, The Ndege Group is deploying a blockchain-based value chain that provides an irrefutable, immutable record of traceability and social impact. This ensures that every gram of mineral is accounted for from the earth to the vault. Following pre-tokenisation processing and vaulting in Nairobi, Kenya, these assets will facilitate Nairobi-based Over-the-Counter (OTC) deals and international trade via the forthcoming Ndege MarketPlace© e-commerce store on its OmniGaza® system.
"This engagement is a humble acknowledgement of our role as stewards of Africa's natural heritage," stated David Okiki Amayo Jr., Founder and Chairman of The Ndege Group. "By establishing an integrated value chain that begins with a school in the DRC and ends with an OTC deal in Nairobi, we are creating a self-sustaining ecosystem of dignity. We are not merely trading gold; we are vaulting the future of the Federation."
The Ndege Group remains committed to the architectural rigour of this framework, ensuring the African Rare Earth Mineral Fund stands as a benchmark for sovereign-led development and transparency.
