Buffalo Nickel is a U.S.-based mineral sourcing, aggregation, and export company working with local partners and artisanal and small-scale mineral producers in Africa.
Local Resources.
Global Opportunity.
Some of the world’s most important mineral resources exist beyond the reach of traditional large-scale mining.
Buffalo Nickel works within this space. We establish relationships with local stakeholders, artisanal and small-scale producers, and operating partners to develop responsible channels for mineral recovery, collection, aggregation, and export.
Strategic Commercial Pathways
In select locations, Buffalo Nickel may establish dedicated or exclusive commercial relationships, allowing us to support consistent operating standards while developing reliable long-term mineral supply.
The result is a bridge between local mineral production and the global industries that depend on these resources.

Our model allows Buffalo Nickel to evaluate additional mineral resources based on market demand, local availability, and responsible sourcing requirements.
Creating Opportunity at the Source
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) supports livelihoods throughout mineral-producing regions of the world.
Buffalo Nickel believes these producers should have access to structured, responsible, and commercially sustainable pathways to the global market.
By developing long-term local relationships and aggregating smaller-scale production, we create economic opportunity while building dependable mineral supply for international buyers.

Our objective is simple: Make smaller-scale mineral production more organized, more transparent, and more accessible to the global market.
