DRC Mining Week 2025: DRC Mining Sector's Role in Economic Upliftment

With a clear focus on sustainability, transformation, and global investment attraction, mining has become a cornerstone of the DRC's economic development, infrastructure improvement, and future prosperity. To sustain this positive trajectory, the mining industry must implement international standards, strengthen operational resilience, and enhance its appeal to investors and financial institutions. The DRC is experiencing increased exploration interest in valuable resources, including gold and lithium. Notably, international financial organisations have established strict compliance requirements for responsible mining practices, emphasising Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.
