Carl Tricoli, Managing Partner, Denham Capital | Powering Africa Summit 2026

Carl Tricoli, Managing Partner at Denham Capital underscores the central role of partnerships in scaling mining investment across Africa, highlighting the need for alignment between governments, industry and private capital. The discussion points to the unique value of U.S. government involvement – through financing, political risk insurance and guarantees – in creating a more secure foundation for investment.

The interview emphasises that combining this support with experienced, on-the-ground industry players and committed private capital is key to delivering projects at scale. In complex operating environments, government-to-government engagement is often critical to resolving challenges, with strong institutional backing helping to attract long-term investment and unlock growth across Africa’s mining sector.
