Nouakchott · Mauritania · Founded 2023

Beneath the sand, a quiet fortune.

MauriSync Energy & Minerals connects Mauritania's gold, copper, iron, lithium and hydrocarbon potential with the world's capital — built from inside the country's most demanding mining operations.

« Sous ce sable se cache une richesse immense en or, en cuivre, en minerai de fer, en hydrocarbures — et surtout, des opportunités qui n'attendent qu'à être saisies. »

01  /  Vision

A bridge between Mauritania's mineral wealth and international capital.

Mauritania is the unfinished page of West African mining — gold, copper, iron ore, lithium, uranium and hydrocarbons sitting under one of the least-mapped mining frontiers on the continent.

MauriSync, founded in 2023 in Nouakchott by mining engineer Rabia Ghaly, sits at the intersection of engineering, entrepreneurship and industrial policy — a vantage point shaped by years inside Africa's largest open-pit gold operations.
