BANRO to restart mining activities in the DRC in mid-July
Since 2019, the Canadian gold company, Banro, has decided to suspend its activities in four of its subsidiaries, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, for security reasons.
This Saturday, June 05, 2021, the Minister of Mines received a delegation from this company, led by its main shareholder, Luc Gérard. The latter exchanged with the Minister of Mines, Antoinette N’Samba, on the prospects for the development of the DRC in the mining sector.
The head of mines insisted on the priorities of the Head of State, with regard to the development of economic activity, especially in the eastern provinces of the country; and this, to give a little more employment alternatives to young people and the relaunch of activities in South Kivu.
Banro responded to this invitation because it wants to boost more than 6000 jobs in this part of the country.
Banro defines itself as a metal mining company, for a sustainable and electric world. This gold company also supports the revitalization of its sector, so that the population benefits more from its subsoil.
Luc Gérard announces the relaunch of his mining activities in the east of the country, precisely in South Kivu, around mid-July and plans to see opportunities in other provinces, such as North Kivu and Ituri.
