JETLINER SARL and TERDEC Partnership in Central Africa

JETLINER SARL, in partnership with the TERDEC Group of Chad, is developing significant potential in the mining, energy, and petroleum sectors in Central Africa.
This collaboration aims to leverage abundant natural resources in their respective areas of operation and to strengthen regional trade within the framework of African economic integration.

Strategic Mineral Portfolio
JETLINER SARL and TERDEC manage a portfolio of projects and opportunities covering several strategic minerals:

Gold: a precious and expanding resource, extracted both artisanally and industrially.
Diamonds: high-value stones found in multiple high-potential mining zones.
Antimony, copper, tin, and lead: rare minerals used in industry and modern technologies.
Iron, bauxite, and manganese: base metals essential for steel production and construction.
Coal and limestone: exploited for energy production and construction materials.

Petroleum Sector Activities
The two partners are also active in the petroleum sector, including:

Extraction and marketing of crude oil and derivatives (super, diesel, engine oils, bitumen, etc.);
Development of logistics and transport infrastructure for regional export via the Port of Kribi;
Promotion of locally processed energy products, enhancing regional autonomy and added value.

Shared Vision
JETLINER SARL and the TERDEC Group share a strategic vision to:

Promote local valorization of mineral and petroleum resources;
Support industrial growth and job creation;
Encourage sustainable and responsible resource exploitation;
Strengthen sub-regional economic cooperation, particularly within CEMAC and the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Logistics Infrastructure
To support these initiatives, JETLINER SARL operates a modern warehouse in Douala, dedicated to the storage and distribution of strategic products such as rice, sugar, hydrocarbons, and derivatives.
This infrastructure is a key logistical asset for managing, processing, and distributing mineral and petroleum products resulting from the JETLINER SARL-TERDEC partnership.

By combining their expertise and resources, JETLINER SARL and the TERDEC Group aim to become leading players in mining and energy development in Central Africa.
Their partnership is based on an integrated approach: production, logistics, international trade, and local transformation of natural resources to drive African growth.
