LJI Wealth, by then called PMD Consulting Pty Ltd is honoured to be part of the transforming force in the Energy sector in Africa, especially in the DR Congo, where in 2012, the founder will be appointed the CEO of the National Company of Electricity “SNEL”. The innovative managerial skill will lower the electricity deficit. LJI Wealth was the pioneering force behind the development of the investment in the mining sector because of the surge of the available electricity in the sector.

Guided by strong leadership principles and a commitment to long-term value creation, LJI Wealth—formerly known as African Lobbyist—has evolved into a dynamic investment platform with strategic exposure to digital currencies and emerging financial technologies.

The firm operates with a structured governance approach, overseeing capital allocation across a diversified range of asset classes, including mandates on behalf of family offices and institutional investors.

Positioned at the intersection of legacy-driven vision and entrepreneurial execution, LJI Wealth functions as an alternative investment house with initiatives spanning real estate private equity, sponsored buyouts, and venture capital.

Its real estate division has been responsible for the acquisition and development of assets exceeding $10 million since 2011.

2023

With the rapid expansion of the subcontracting segment within the mining industry across Central and West Africa, LJI Wealth has established a strategic footprint through its integrated industrial and financial platform. Through its subsidiary, CIDC, the group partners with local subcontractors and mining operators to strengthen their operational capacity by facilitating access to equipment, consumables, logistics, and end-to-end supply chain solutions.

Beyond traditional subcontracting, LJI Wealth operates as a structured intermediary, bridging mining companies, subcontractors, and financial institutions. Through mechanisms such as Letters of Credit, supply chain financing, and working capital support, the platform addresses critical liquidity constraints and enables seamless execution of mining contracts while mitigating cross-border and payment cycle risks .

At a strategic level, the Mining and Metals Business Unit is designed to support both industrial execution and asset creation. This includes the development of a junior mining model focused on the identification, geological validation, and structuring of mineral assets to international standards (JORC / NI 43-101), with the objective of creating bankable projects for joint ventures, monetization, or institutional investment .

The overarching objective is to contribute to the emergence of a globally competitive mining ecosystem in Africa by integrating financing, operations, and resource development—ultimately driving large-scale industrialisation, local capacity building, and sustainable job creation across the continent.
