Capital Delivery Africa
The Platform
Is Operational.
Capital Delivery Africa is the continental platform company of the Capital Delivery group — building and operating sovereign commodity corridor infrastructure across East and Central Africa. The platform is not a concept. It is not a proposal. It is operational — with the corridor running, the institutional relationships active, and the capital instruments available to qualified participants.
100%
Settlement Design Objective
01 · Core Identity
Infrastructure Builder and Operator
Capital Delivery Africa does not trade commodities. It builds and operates the sovereign corridor infrastructure that converts certified material flows into institutional-grade settlement events. The infrastructure is the asset. The corridor is the product.
02 · Foundation
Sovereign Institutional Core
The platform's relationships with Bank of Tanzania, STAMICO, and the Mwanza Precious Metals Refinery are the demand-side anchor. Sovereign buyer mandate present at every settlement event. Not replicable by capital alone — built over 20+ years.
03 · Architecture
Replicable Cornerstone Model
Each jurisdiction is structured as a cornerstone — locally registered, institutionally anchored, corridor-connected. Tanzania (CDA4N) is the reference design. Every subsequent cornerstone runs the same proven architecture in a new jurisdiction without reconstruction.
04 · Capital Design
Self-Capitalizing Beyond Event 1
The platform retains an operational budget from each settlement event to fund the next transactional event — making it self-capitalizing after the initial deployment. Each completed loop funds the next. Capital efficiency compounds with scale.
05 · Compliance
Certified and Compliant
ICGLR · Fairmined · LBMA · Dodd-Frank · OECD DDG. International compliance standards are structural — built into the corridor architecture, not added supplementally. This is the credential that opens the sovereign institutional market.
06 · Scale
Multi-Commodity by Design
Gold (AU) is the live proof-of-concept material on the Precious Metals Platform. Critical Minerals, Agriculture, Power, and Infrastructure are the subsequent platform domains in the roadmap — each applying the same sovereign institutional architecture to a new commodity class.

The Macro Case
Africa Is Not Emerging.
It Is Building.
The most resource-rich continent on earth is in the process of building the institutional and infrastructure foundations that will define the next century of global commerce. Capital Delivery Africa is positioned at the foundation layer of that build — not as an observer, but as an infrastructure operator. The opportunity is ground floor — not because nothing exists, but because the operational foundation is being laid now, with 21st-century architecture from the start.
$700B
Annual Commodity Exports
Africa exports over $700 billion in commodities annually. The majority leaves as unprocessed raw material — value captured offshore, spread settled elsewhere. Capital Delivery Africa is built to capture and retain value within the corridor.
54
Countries · One Trade Architecture
The African Continental Free Trade Area — 54 countries, 1.4 billion people — is the largest free trade area by number of participating countries. The infrastructure being built to operate within it is 21st-century architecture from the ground up.
20+
Years of Foundation Building
Capital Delivery has invested 20+ years and significant principal capital building the institutional relationships, compliance architecture, and on-ground presence that the platform operates within. The foundation was not purchased — it was built.
The Discount Is Outdated
The Assumption
Political Instability
Built from Cold War proxy conflicts and 1990s civil wars. Current reality: Rwanda has a 20-year compounding growth record. Kenya, Tanzania, and Ghana have functioning capital markets and democratic continuity. Most of Africa's economic mass is in investable jurisdictions.
The Assumption
No Legal Framework
Built from colonial-era and 1980s opacity. Current reality: OHADA commercial law covers 17 West and Central African countries. AfCFTA is a 54-country single market architecture in formation. The legal infrastructure is being built now.
The Assumption
No Infrastructure
Built from legacy fixed-line and banking models. Africa skipped fixed-line telecoms and built mobile-native. Skipped legacy banking and built M-Pesa (40M+ users). Infrastructure being built is 21st-century architecture — not a 20th-century replication.
The Assumption
No Exit Path
Built from thin exit comparable data. Current reality: African startup funding rounds and institutional backing from global majors have reached record levels. The exit infrastructure is forming alongside the investment infrastructure.
DRC Risk Framing · Canonical
Conflict zones represent approximately 6% of DRC's landmass — two of 26 provinces (North and South Kivu). Capital Delivery operates in Kinshasa, Kolwezi, and Kisangani — not in conflict zones. The narrative conflation of all DRC with conflict-zone risk reflects a geographic misunderstanding that Capital Delivery's compliance architecture and operational footprint directly address. Every unit of material is conflict-free certified before it moves.
The Corridor
DRC ↔ Tanzania.
A Dynamic Corridor.
Capital Delivery Africa operates multi-directional commodity corridor infrastructure. Material, capital, compliance, and operational activity move in every direction the platform requires. The DRC–Tanzania corridor is the live proof-of-concept — and every subsequent corridor replicates the same dynamic, multi-modal architecture.
Active Node · Central Africa
DRC
Active corridor node — Kinshasa, Kolwezi, Kisangani. Capital Delivery operates in verified producer provinces — not in conflict zones. Conflict-free certified, multi-directional corridor activity: material, capital, compliance, and operational support flow through Central Africa in all required directions.
Active Node · East Africa
Tanzania
Anchor cornerstone — CDA4N operational since 2022. Physical office inside Mwanza Precious Metals Refinery compound. Sovereign institutional framework: STAMICO, Bank of Tanzania, MPMR. Active in every direction — the Tanzania node anchors settlement, institutional access, and platform operations simultaneously.
↔ MULTI-DIRECTIONAL · MULTI-MODAL · DYNAMIC ↔
The Institutional Triangle
Sovereign Buyer
Bank of Tanzania
Sovereign buyer with standing procurement mandate for certified commodity material. The demand-side anchor — present at every settlement event. Regulatory oversight authority. The Bank of Tanzania relationship is the sovereign institutional anchor that distinguishes the corridor from informal channels.
State Institution
STAMICO
State Mining Corporation of Tanzania. Majority owner of MPMR on behalf of Bank of Tanzania. Facilitated the formal refinery agreement. Provides CDA4N with operational space within the MPMR compound. The STAMICO relationship is the result of years of operational courtship and transactional trust-building.
Settlement Facility
Mwanza Precious Metals Refinery
Terminal settlement facility. 97% return rate. CDA4N office inside the compound — physical presence at the point of settlement. The point where certified material becomes institutional-grade capital at sovereign price. Not contracted out — owned operationally.
Capital Instruments
Three Instruments.
Sovereign-Settled.
Capital Delivery Africa offers three structured capital instruments to qualified debt capital providers. Each instrument is designed for a specific investor profile and capital commitment level. All three are sovereign-settled, event-based, and fully aligned with Capital Delivery across market direction, volume, and settlement outcome. The sourcing spread is fixed — rising or falling commodity prices do not compress CD's margin percentage, which means investor and platform are never in conflict.
Instrument A · Amber
Loan / Carry
Conversion
Senior debt structure with elected interest rate and optional conversion window. Investor deploys capital as a structured loan — elect interest accrual (10–20% APR) or convert to the carry instrument at a defined conversion point.
Instrument B · Green
Straight
Carry
The platform's core instrument. Deploy capital against a Quantity Cap. $3,000/kg carry runs as a running balance across sequential events until the full QC is met. QC = Investment ÷ 500. Maximum MOIC 7.0×.
Exit Paths
Physical + Financial
Instrument C · Teal
Platform /
Family Office
Strategic platform participation for $1M+ investors. Platform rights, advisory seat eligibility, three-horizon exit architecture, access to the continental scaling roadmap as it executes across EAC, SADC, and COMESA.
Investor–Platform Alignment · Canonical
Investor and Capital Delivery are always aligned across market direction, volume/scale, and settlement outcome. The sourcing spread is a fixed percentage — constant regardless of LME price movements. Rising or falling commodity prices do not compress the platform's margin percentage. Both investor and platform benefit from more material moving through the corridor. There is no conflict of interest in any market scenario.
Economics
Locked Values.
Transparent Mechanics.
All economic values are locked by the Economics & Settlement Source of Truth. LME Gold Spot Price is sourced from Kitco, expressed per kilogram. Every investor-facing document with economic values carries an explicit LME Spot Price stamp above and beyond the general revision date.

QC Formula
Quantity Cap Mechanics
QC = Investment ÷ 500. The Quantity Cap is a structural constant — not a dollar value. It defines the total kg against which carry is measured across all sequential events until QC is met and the investor exits.
QC (kg) = Investment ÷ 500
Total Carry = QC × $3,000
MOIC = (Principal + Total Carry) ÷ Principal
Purchase Point
Terminal — Not Source
Gold is purchased at the refinery terminal (G05/G06) — not at DRC source. Supplier payment is funded from Bank of Tanzania settlement proceeds. This materially changes the investor risk profile: Capital Delivery does not hold unsold inventory at any point in the cycle.
Operational Budget
$50K–$200K Per Event
CD retains $50K–$200K (standard: $200K) as operational budget — the 6th and final waterfall step. This funds the next transactional event without new external capital, making the platform self-capitalizing after Event 1. No 7th waterfall step.
Cycle Timing
21–30 Days
Transaction cycle from event initiation to G06 settlement: 21–30 days. Each completed event returns investor principal plus carry increment, then reloads. Volume and velocity are the two primary return drivers.
