Seneca Commodities-Zambia and LVC Global Partner to Strengthen U.S. Critical Minerals Supply Chain
Seneca Commodities–Zambia and LVC Global Holdings have entered into a strategic joint venture aimed at optimizing and monetizing commodities trading across emerging and frontier markets.
The partnership will focus on the extraction and supply of precious metals, strategic metals, critical minerals, and rare earth elements—resources vital to advanced technologies, energy transition, and defense systems.
This joint venture targets investors, commodities traders, and mining asset operators seeking to supply intermediate ores and raw materials to global buyers, particularly those in the United States and allied markets.
The initiative is designed to support U.S. efforts to strengthen industrial and manufacturing capacity while reducing reliance on foreign adversaries for key minerals.
The collaboration aligns with the U.S. government’s national security strategy, which emphasizes the need for resilient critical mineral supply chains.
The Department of Defense has underscored that these minerals are essential to the production of defense assets such as unmanned aerial vehicles, fighter jets, and submarines. Disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions have highlighted the urgent need for dependable sources of these strategic materials.
C. Derek Campbell, Executive Chairman of LVC Global Holdings, commented:
“This partnership marks a major step in securing and optimizing the supply chains for critical minerals. By combining our expertise, we aim to deliver reliable resources to the industries driving innovation and defense.”
Maybin Mudenda, Founder and Chairman of Seneca Commodities–Zambia, added:
“Our collaboration with LVC Global Holdings unlocks new opportunities to monetize Zambia’s vast mineral wealth. We are committed to meeting global demand while fostering regional economic growth and stability.”
The venture intends to prioritize sustainable and efficient practices in the extraction and trading of minerals, positioning itself as a key contributor to U.S. and allied supply chains.
By focusing on resource-rich African regions, the initiative seeks to reinforce economic and strategic resilience at a global level.
