About Us

We’re a small team but we achieve lots.

Akarbo Resources was founded in 2022 by Nicolas Hébert.

It all started with the realisation that mines are incredibly rigid entities with tremendous inertia.

Shifting the organisation from within, to align with net-zero trajectories, is a nearly impossible task when low-emission considerations aren’t integrated in the long term planning at the inception of the project.

Too often, the sunken costs of fossil-linked infrastructure and design prevent reorienting the mine in the right direction.

The answer to this problem seems simple :

  • from the start, design the project so that future mineral extraction be in line with the Paris agreement and planetary boundaries.
  • don’t break the laws of physics, and the economics will stack-up, financial ROI matter, but sound Energy return on energy invested  is essential, as are the metallic content of energy used on site, the energetical shadow of metals, and the overall 
  • grade is king, but so is thoughtful planning
  • reorient on the idea that low-emission mines required to provide the metals for the energy transition need to be discovered and designed with this in mind

Our Vision ?
Resourcing tomorrow

At Akarbo, we’re do not favor for extractivism for the sake of it.

We call it mining with a purpose. Enabling earthlings to get a share of the concentrated geochemical anomaly from the planet they were born in.

A geological oddity, formed million to billion years ago, waiting to be discovered and turned into progress for mankind. We engage in no- regret activities. As electrification is the gateway to decarbonisation, Akarbo partakes in enabling the supply of metals of the energy transition, in juridictions attracting a geopolitical premium, to ensure friendshoring of the value chain. In essence, a trailblazer ready for green protectionism, in favourable regimes. Prospecting for deposits with world-class endowment resembles chasing unicorns, which is exactly what we aim for: Becoming the first integrated miner responsible to 1 billion tonnes of CO2 avoided in downstream scope 4 emissions. We are here to drive the sustainable agenda and embrace the most actionable challenge of this century : 

  • envisioning a world beyond global carbon neutrality;
  • following science-based initiatives, with no places for offset
  • embracing the opportunity to design new system;
  • placing technical viability of projects before economic viability, so not to break the universal laws of physics;
  • designing out waste from the inception, and valuing it as inputs for other processes;
  • tackling reverse logistics, not just value at the point of sales only;
  • striving everyone to make inform choices, from employees to shareholders;
  • operating for social good, while offering fulfilling employment
“We're exploring for the future, and tomorrow starts now”
