West Africa × Canadian Capital Markets

A bridge between West African mining and Canadian capital.

Baraka Ligdi is a capital markets advisory firm connecting West African mining operators with the Canadian junior capital markets ecosystem.

The Mandate

Two ecosystems. One bridge.

West Africa holds some of the world’s most prospective mineral geology. Canada holds the deepest pool of junior mining capital. Between them sits a gap of language, structure, and trust.

Baraka Ligdi exists to close that gap — advising operators and issuers on both sides of the Atlantic with the technical and cultural fluency the channel demands.

What We Do

Three mandates, precisely defined.

All services
01

Canadian Listing Advisory

Guiding West African private mining companies through access to Canadian public markets — reverse takeover, TSX-V listing preparation, and transaction structuring advisory.

For operators going public
02

Capital Markets Advisory

Strategic counsel for undercovered TSX-V juniors with West African assets — sharpening the equity story, engaging the right capital, and navigating the operating context on the ground.

For orphaned juniors
03

Royalty & Stream Origination

Sell-side advisory to juniors with producing or near-producing West African assets seeking royalty or streaming arrangements as a capital solution — structuring through to counterparty introduction.

For near-producers
Why Baraka Ligdi

Credibility built on substance, not noise.

We work with a focused number of clients where our expertise is decisive — not where it is merely adjacent.

Truly bilingual

Every mandate delivered fluently in English and French — the language barrier that stalls most deals is, for us, a non-issue.

Capital markets credentials

Founders bring deep Canadian financial services experience — capital structuring, due diligence, and the mechanics of the TSX-V.

West Africa fluency

Genuine understanding of the jurisdictions, the geology, and the realities of operating in the region — not a desk view from afar.

Aligned advisory

An advisory model designed around the client’s objective — structured for clarity, not conflicted incentives.
