Building the Future of Critical Minerals Trading
Founded in 2023, Motjuan combines frontier- and emerging-market mine ownership, physical commodity trading, and proprietary technology under a principal-capital model. Operating across the UAE, USA, Italy, South Africa, and DRC—connecting suppliers and buyers with zero management fees.
What we do
We connect frontier and emerging market critical minerals to the global capital market
Vertical Integration
We don't just trade commodities; we own the mines producing them. Control from extraction to delivery, capturing margin at production and trading stages while maintaining supply security.
Principal Capital Model
Zero management fees. No carried interest. We invest our balance sheet alongside partners. If you make 5x, we make 5x. Complete alignment on operational performance.
Technology-Enabled Operations
MetalTradeX delivers 15% pricing improvements. IDP-IGP reduces exploration costs 35%. Technology enables a young company to compete against century-old incumbents.
Frontier & Emerging Market Focus
We operate where others fear to tread—DRC, Zambia, and emerging markets offering inefficiencies that create opportunities for operators with local expertise and risk management capabilities.
