Building a Legacy

M’Eric Minerals was founded by Eric Uzabakiriho, a Rwandan geologist and mining engineer driven by a vision to strengthen Africa’s mining industry through technical excellence, responsible practices, and internationally benchmarked advisory services.

After completing his Bachelor’s degree in Geology at the University of Birmingham and a Master’s degree in Mining Engineering at the University of Exeter, Eric returned to Rwanda determined to apply his global training to local challenges. His early career in public service—most notably as Director of Inspection at the Rwanda Mines, Petroleum and Gas Board—provided him with deep insight into the regulatory, operational, and technical gaps facing the sector.

Founded on this conviction, M’Eric Minerals was created to bring together national expertise across geology, mining engineering, environmental science, and natural resource management within one high-performing consulting platform. From the outset, the company invested heavily in developing local talent, partnering with graduates from the University of Rwanda’s School of Mining and Geology and equipping them with modern tools, rigorous training, and international best practice.

Beginning in Rwanda, M’Eric Minerals set out to support miners, investors, and public institutions in the economic, responsible, and sustainable development of mineral resources. By integrating scientific rigor, engineering precision, and environmental stewardship, the firm delivers practical, data-driven solutions that unlock value while protecting people and the environment.

Today, with Rwanda as its foundation, M’Eric Minerals is extending its footprint across Africa. Guided by professionalism, innovation, and collaboration, the company continues to position itself as a trusted partner in transforming the continent’s mineral wealth into long-term economic and social progress.
