The Fairmining Solution
Transforming artisanal and small scale mining
AgendaIntro videoBackground to Oakridge involvementOverview of conflict situation in East CongoCurrent situationThe fairmining solutionProject Kivu – first fairmining implementationThe future of fair mining
Artisanal mining in Congo
Community based mining
Background to Oakridge InvolvementBy invitation - we got involved based on request
from local stakeholders groups
Background in corporate business transformation, troubleshooting and root cause analysis
Our approach was region development focused, not mining specific
We spend 12 months detailed on the ground analysis and investigation before putting a proposal together.
We are developing the solution in conjunction with all local stakeholders
We are developing solutions with repeatability in mind
Overview of conflict situation in Congo It is not as complex as it seems
It is there by design
Blood minerals – not all minerals are fueling war (Blood Gold)
Resolving the conflict situation will result in many people losing a lot of money
Our initial root cause analysis showed many anomalies when compared with what gets reported in main stream media
Aid is a big cause of corruption
NGO’s creating a false economy
Economic development and job creation is the only solution
Current situation in North KivuStrong and cohesive voice for artisanal mining
starting to emerging out of North Kivu Joint meetings between Local Communities,
SAEESCAM, COMIMPA, ANR, Comptoirs, Mining Police, Government and UN Expert Group
This voice does not effectively reach international advocacy and media. We are launching platforms to address this www.walikali.com and www.habarizakweto.net
Mineral ban in North Kivu, South Kivu and Maniema (Coltan, Wolframite and Cassiterite)
Developing the artisanal mining sector in these regions now high on DRC government agenda.
