Biography
Position: Eng. Kariuki – CEO & Lead Consultant, Air Techniques Ltd Role Summary: I am the authorized Bid Consolidator, Government Liaison, and Consortium Manager for a group of qualified investors seeking to acquire strategic mineral rights through the Government of Kenya’s public tender process (Mining Act Cap 306 & Tender Regulations 2017). Specific Responsibilities in This Opportunity: Consortium Assembly: Identify and onboard one or more investors with verifiable financial resources to back the EOI response and subsequent exploration/mining phases. Bid Preparation & Submission: Lead the drafting and submission of the Expression of Interest (EOI) for any or all of the five projects before the 21st April 2026 deadline. Technical Coordination: Recruit and manage a Technical Partner (a mining operator with proven experience in chromite, REE/niobium, copper, manganese, or coltan) to satisfy the Ministry’s qualifying criteria. Government & Regulatory Navigation: Act as the primary interface with the State Department for Mining, NEMA, and County Governments (Samburu, Kwale, Tharaka Nithi, Tana River, Embu), ensuring compliance with Kenya’s Free Carry Interest (FCI) and local content laws. Risk & Financial Structuring: Structure the SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) where investor capital, technical expertise, and government FCI are clearly defined, including phased exploration-to-production earn-in milestones. Why Me / Air Techniques Ltd: With 10 years of executive leadership in commercial negotiations, risk management, and multi-stakeholder project coordination, I bring the discipline to navigate a government tender process and deliver a compliant, bankable bid.

Successfully secured long-term supply and offtake agreements with international partners. Implemented robust risk management protocols in volatile commodity markets.
