From conceptual study to bankable feasibility — we pair seasoned field geology with modern geophysics, processing science, and regulatory craft.
Honest assessments and transparent reporting on every project we touch.
From conceptual study to bankable feasibility, we move projects forward.
Cutting-edge technology and seasoned expertise applied to every workflow.
Strong commitment to environmental sustainability and community engagement.
Evidence Over Theatre
Decisions backed by ground truth.
Every recommendation we deliver is anchored in real geology — mapped outcrops, logged drill core, validated assays, and survey-grade terrain data. No borrowed imagery, no inflated promises, just the evidence your investors and regulators expect.
Reconnaissance teams in the field. Geophysical sections that inform the next drill hole. Maps that hold up in a data room. The work speaks before we do.

Projects
Trusted by 200+ companies across Zambia and beyond.
From the Nsofu Manganese Mine in Luapula Province to collaborations with Qasim Natural Resources, our work spans active operations, exploration programs, and bankable feasibility studies.
How We Work
From concept to bankable feasibility and onward to production.
We start with a conceptual study and advance the project through structured stages, prepping realistic capital and operations costs so investors and operators can move forward with confidence.
Conceptual study
Analyse resources, model the process, and conceptualise the project to generate dependable economic evaluations.
Pre-feasibility
Refine technical assumptions, mine layout, and processing routes against realistic capital and operating costs.
Bankable feasibility
Deliver in-depth evaluations of financial viability that investors can rely on with high confidence.
Operations support
Compliance, mineral management, and process optimisation through commissioning and steady-state production.
Environment & Community Engagement
Environmental protection is a cornerstone of our culture.
At Leonk, we ensure all projects — especially in sensitive areas like dunes and wetlands — adhere to strict environmental laws and directives. By collaborating with local agencies and segregating construction waste for recycling, we minimise our environmental impact and promote sustainability.
