Description

Organised by : The Madini project Interpretation in English-French will be provided. The DRC national Minister of Mines signed in November, 2021 the implementing decree for Blue Mines and other revisions to the Regional Certification Mechanism (RCM) approved by the ICGLR member states in 2010. This opens up the possibility of a more flexible validation, export and traceability for 3TG mining sites, applying the full rigour of OECD compliant due diligence. Project Madini is setting up blue mines pilot projects which contribute also to re-launch the DRC Ministry’s ITOA traceability system. The project is also analyzing and recommending options to improve harmonization of fiscal and regulatory practice consistent with the RCM.
