Minerals · Democratic Republic of Congo

Mineral concessions, developed with the people who hold them.

Black & Yellow Minerals partners with local cooperatives to turn their concessions into organised, safer and more productive operations. Gold today, in Tshopo and North Kivu — a model built to go further, with its partners and beyond a single mineral.

01The company

A partner to local concession holders.

BYM brings equipment, supervision, standards and buyers to concessions that local cooperatives already hold. The cooperative keeps its concession and its place in the operation; BYM provides what turns artisanal digging into an organised, safer and more productive site — and the capacity stays with the partner.

Gold is where the company started, not where it stops: the same model is meant to be repeated with other concession holders and extended to other minerals as permits allow. BYM is registered in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with a Canadian corporation for international partners, and managed by a small team in Kinshasa, eastern DRC and Ontario.

02Operations

Two operating sites, three provinces.

Bavidili in Tshopo is worked as a hydraulic open-cut with sluice recovery; Beni in North Kivu is mined with hydraulic excavators. A portfolio of four concession areas completes the footprint.

03How we work

From a partner’s licence to production, in four steps.

BYM does not displace artisanal miners or take over their concessions. It formalises what exists — a licensed cooperative, a deposit, a workforce — and adds equipment, training, standards and buyers.
  1. 01

    Identification

    Evaluation of cooperative licences, geological potential and community alignment before any commitment.

  2. 02

    Integration

    Formal partnership agreements with licensed cooperatives, setting out governance, compliance and operating protocols.

  3. 03

    Modernisation

    Deployment of semi-industrial equipment, workforce training and health, safety and environmental standards.

  4. 04

    Scaling

    Production optimisation, additional concessions and access to international markets and capital.

  2. 02

    Offtake financing

    Production-linked funding

    Returns correlated to verified production output, with independent weighing and assay.

  4. 04

    Equipment financing

    Lease-to-own or production-backed financing of specific equipment, secured on the assets.

  5. 05

    Commodity financing

    Instruments backed by future production with structured delivery and pricing mechanisms.
