In its circular note referenced CABMIN/MINES/JPK/JMT/LKW/00306/2025, addressed to mining companies operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Ministry of Mines reiterates the provisions of Article 71 bis of the Congolese Mining Code and Article 141 bis of the Mining Regulations.
These articles require mining companies to reserve 5% of their share capital for Congolese nationals. The note requests that mining companies already compliant with this legal obligation submit proof of this participation to the Minister’s office as soon as possible.
Companies not in compliance have until July 31, 2026, to submit supporting documents, including updated articles of association, duly maintained shareholders’ or partners’ agreements, and any other relevant supporting documentation.
