Our History

Trinity Metals operates through Trinity Musha Mines Limited, Trinity Nyakabingo Mine Limited, and Trinity Rutongo Mines Limited, with all three subsidiaries operating under Trinity Metals Limited. Trinity Metals Rwanda serves as the holding company for these subsidiaries, each independently established as a privately held company.

The Rutongo, Musha, and Nyakabingo Mines have a strong track record in mining and exploration of tin, tungsten, and tantalum in Rwanda. Together, they are committed to applying responsible and sustainable mining practices to the assets previously acquired from the Government of Rwanda.

In May 2022, the three companies’ shareholders joined forces to form Trinity Metals Limited (“The Group”) under equity backing from Techmet, a UK-based private industrial company working to secure the technology metal supply chain in a world with rapidly increasing demand. Techmet, Trinity Metals’ majority shareholder, works with a number of investment partners including the US Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to fund its portfolio. Additional shareholders include Piran Resources, the parent company of Piran Rwanda Limited and the Rwandan Government, represented by Agaciro Development Fund.

The consolidation of the three companies led Trinity Metals to its position as a leading mining company and private sector employer. The board of directors was appointed in May 2022 with representation from the major shareholders to oversee the company’s strategy and governance in Rwanda.

The three-way alliance, by design, builds upon the strengths of each of the three companies to achieve operational synergies such as increased production capacity, greater supply chain leverage, improved career growth opportunities for employees and stronger community and government relations.
