About Mulumbu Minerals
Pioneering ethical gold export from the heart of Congo since 2018
From Local Roots to Global Excellence
Founded in 2018 in Butembo, North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, Mulumbu Minerals was born from a vision to transform the gold mining industry in Central Africa.
Our founder, Jean-Pierre Mulumbu, witnessed firsthand the challenges facing local miners and the lack of transparency in the gold export market. He set out to create a company that would bridge the gap between artisanal miners and international buyers while maintaining the highest ethical standards.
Today, we stand as a beacon of responsible mining practices, providing fair prices to local miners and delivering certified, conflict-free gold to clients worldwide.
