Uganda’s mining sector is on the cusp of a transformative era, with its rich deposits of gold, copper, and rare earth minerals attracting global attention. As an investment advisory firm, Horizon Investments is uniquely positioned to guide investors through the opportunities in this burgeoning industry, ensuring sustainable growth that benefits both investors and local communities.
Why Invest in Uganda’s Mining Sector?
Recent discoveries in regions like Karamoja and Mubende have positioned Uganda as a key player in Africa’s mining landscape. Gold production alone has surged, with exports reaching $150 million in 2024, driven by both artisanal and large-scale operations. The government’s commitment to formalizing the sector through streamlined licensing and tax incentives makes it an ideal time for investors to enter the market.
However, mining in Uganda comes with unique challenges—remote locations, occupational health risks, and limited infrastructure can hinder operations. This is where Horizon Investments steps in. We specialize in identifying opportunities that address these challenges through strategic investments in healthcare and infrastructure, ensuring mining projects are both profitable and sustainable.
Our Approach: Supporting Mining Through Health and Infrastructure
We advise investors on opportunities that integrate healthcare solutions, such as telemedicine hubs at mining sites to provide workers with access to quality care, addressing issues like respiratory conditions and injuries common in mining environments. For example, a recent project we facilitated in Karamoja established a telemedicine center, reducing emergency response times by 40% and improving worker retention.
Infrastructure is another critical focus. We guide investors toward public-private partnerships (PPPs) to develop roads, water systems, and power grids that enhance mining operations while benefiting surrounding communities. These investments not only improve operational efficiency but also ensure long-term sustainability by fostering community support.
