Also, Vantage International will acquire the necessary equipment to initiate small-scale mining and processing of gold with the local community by hiring local people, marking the start of early production.
“We are excited about the opportunities this funding will bring,” said Dr. Prasannan Nediyedath, Founder / CEO of Vantage International. “Having completed the Environmental Impact Assessment and now commencing a drilling programme, we shall possess valuable data to guide our expansion efficiently and effectively.

The debt funding shall be provided by Tongguan Gold Group Limited, a company incorporated in Bermuda. As part of the agreement, Vantage International shall pledged 100% of its shares as collateral. Tongguan Gold Group Limited will also have the right to acquire a certain equity stake in Vantage International.

Rakesh Rajagopal, Co-founder / Managing Director of Vantage, spoke about the company’s strategic objectives and its full commitment to ESG efforts in Madagascar. “Vantage International is committed to making a positive impact in Madagascar, a country with one of the lowest income per capita. Our plans include implementing social programmes for mining communities and working towards eliminating the widespread use of mercury in the small-scale gold mining industry by setting up gold buying stations/ leaching plans in the main mining districts and providing access to artisanal miners to sell to us at very fair prices.”
