Our Operations

Miners

COMICORDIA is fully registered under the mining regulations of the DRC and holds an approved artisanal exploitation zone (ZEA), while also participating as a beneficiary in a sub-leasing arrangement for Exploration Permit PR 13343 and delivering responsibly-sourced gold and diamonds from our licensed mining activities in the Kasaï-Central region.

Buyers

The COMICORDIA group is fully authorised under the regulatory framework to purchase gold and diamonds from duly-licensed artisanal mining cooperatives. We engage directly with small-scale miners, abiding by national licensing and traceability requirements to ensure all acquisitions are legally compliant and responsibly sourced.

Exporters

We are officially licensed under the laws of the Democratic Republic of the Congo to export responsibly-sourced gold and diamonds, ensuring full compliance with national export regulations. Our export operations provide international buyers with transparent access to traceable and legally-exported minerals from the DRC.

Mining Region

COMICORDIA operates in the mineral-rich region of Luiza, Kasaï-Central Province. This area is historically known for high-quality alluvial gold deposits.

Our Extraction Model

We operate a structured cooperative model that organises artisanal miners into safe, regulated teams under professional oversight.

Health, Safety & Environment

We implement strict PPE requirements, on-site safety protocols, and education programs to minimise environmental impact and guarantee safe working conditions.

Community Integration

COMICORDIA’s cooperative structure ensures that local mining families benefit directly from formalised, regulated mineral trade.
