UC SAS denounces a mining fraud of more than 10 million USD valued at 60 tons of Coltan and Cassiterite, perpetrated in Manono and Malemba-Nkulu in DRC

A mining fraud of more than 60 tons of coltan and cassiterite, valued at more than 10 million USD, would be perpetrated in the territories of Manono and Malemba-Nkulu, in the provinces of Haut Lomami and Tanganyika. This is what the company United Cominiere SAS denounces in its press release published on Tuesday, October 22, 2022.  

This company accuses a certain Hadley Nathus and a Canadian subject named Eric Allard (chairman and CEO of the company TANTALEX) who, acting in complicity with the leaders of COMINIERE, would be in collusion with some authorities of the country, to cover up this large-scale mining fraud. UC SAS alerted the authorities to watch over this situation.

In addition, this company specifically accuses the Ministry of Justice of having taken a decision contrary to the rule of law by instructing the Single Window for Business Creation (GUCE), through its letter number 2160/LW10130/APP/ CAB/ME/MIN/J&GS/2022 of September 20, 2022, technical service under its supervision, to cancel a legal transfer of shares for the benefit of a Canadian subject “yet condemned on Congolese soil by judgments that have become final”. 

The company UC SAS notes that the instruction of the Ministry of Justice given to GUCE “violates the laws of the country and proceeds from an abuse of power, insofar as it works on the judgments which have become final concerning this transfer: RP19203, RCE 7495, RPO 10247/10267, as well as a right front under RAC 2942”.

In addition, it deplores the “sabotage” of the efforts made by the President of the Republic Félix Tshisekedi, to establish good governance in the DRC, marked by, among other things, respect for the principle of the separation of powers and the improvement of the climate. Business.

“The DRC must avoid being influenced by crooked individuals, so-called investors, while recognized speculators, at the risk of tarnishing the image of the whole country, and particularly of the Sama Lukonde government…”, deplores the UC SAS in its press release.
