Emerald Resources, part of Emerald Group, and LVC Global Holdings have agreed to merge, creating Emerald Global Resources (EGR), a Pan-African natural resource platform headquartered in Abu Dhabi.

The merger combines Emerald’s international reach with LVC Global’s Africa-focused asset acquisition and deal-origination expertise, covering metals, minerals, oil and gas, and resource logistics.

EGR aims to attract global institutional capital, including private equity, sovereign wealth funds, and ultra-high-net-worth investors, offering scalable, de-risked exposure to high-quality natural-resource assets.

The platform integrates upstream acquisitions, midstream logistics, and commodity commercialisation under unified governance.

Operations will begin following regulatory and corporate approvals.

"EGR positions us to build a world-class natural-resources enterprise headquartered in Abu Dhabi, with the capacity to scale across Africa’s most strategic markets," stated N’Gunu Tiny, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Emerald Group.
