Kinshasa operations

Our Kinshasa base coordinates mine sourcing, quality checks, secure storage and export logistics. Congo buyers can work through a single point of contact in Kinshasa instead of dealing with many intermediaries.

FAQ – buying gold in Congo (DRC & Kinshasa)

Where is the best place to buy gold in Congo?
Buyers usually structure transactions through licensed export hubs such as Kinshasa rather than directly at remote mine sites. Congo Rare Minerals coordinates sourcing, documentation and export from Kinshasa under clear SPA terms so the route can be verified.
Can you deliver Congo gold directly to Dubai, Zurich or London?
Yes. Under CIF contracts from Congo we arrange freight and insurance to hubs such as Dubai, Zurich and London and deliver to buyer-nominated refineries. Under FOB, the buyer or their logistics partner handles uplift from the DRC departure airport.
What is the minimum order to buy gold in Congo?
For CIF contract shipments the minimum is usually 10 kg. Smaller quantities may be considered as FOB trial lots for new buyers, subject to KYC and commercial approval.
Do you only offer gold bars or also gold grain from Congo?
We supply both gold bars and gold grain from Congo. Many refiners prefer grain for melting and production, while some institutions prefer contract bars. You can specify format or mix in the SPA.
What are the main risks when buying gold in Congo?
The main risks are dealing with unlicensed sellers, unclear origin, missing documents and payment structures that demand full funds before verification. Our model addresses this with licensing, documentation, refinery assay and clear SPA clauses so both metal and money move in controlled steps.
