With years of experience, D&D Mining and Export is committed to sustainable mineral extraction and community development.
Founded in 2024, D&DMines and Export has grown from a single-site operation to a global leader in mineral resources.
D&D Mine and Export Resources began with a vision to extract Earth's resources while preserving its natural beauty for future generations. Our founder, M.A Atiku Dandodo, established the company with a commitment to ethical practices and environmental stewardship.
Today, we operate mines across three continents, employing over 5,000 people and maintaining the highest standards of safety and environmental responsibility. Our diversified portfolio includes gold, copper, lithium, and rare earth elements essential for modern technology.
We believe that responsible mining is not just about extracting resources, but about creating lasting value for our shareholders, employees, and the communities where we operate.
At D&DMines and Export, we leverage cutting-edge technology to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Our operations utilize autonomous vehicles, real-time monitoring systems, and advanced processing techniques.

Strategic mineral extraction across diverse geographies and commodities.
Our gold mining operations span three countries, utilizing both open-pit and underground mining methods. We employ state-of-the-art extraction and processing technologies to maximize recovery rates while minimizing environmental impact.
In 2025, our gold operations produced over 8,000 ounces, with reserves estimated at 15 million ounces. We've implemented cyanide-free extraction processes at two of our largest mines, setting new industry standards for environmental responsibility.
All our gold operations are certified under the Responsible Gold Mining Principles, ensuring ethical sourcing and production practices.
As a critical metal for electrification and renewable energy, copper is central to our growth strategy. Our copper operations utilize advanced flotation and hydrometallurgical processes to achieve industry-leading recovery rates.
We've invested in innovative water recycling systems that allow us to reuse over 85% of process water, significantly reducing our freshwater consumption. Our operations produced 250,000 tonnes of copper in 2022, with expansion projects underway.
We're exploring new bioleaching technologies that could revolutionize copper extraction with even lower environmental impact.
