How we work
CM MINING works where minerals are extracted: in Ghana’s artisanal zones, South Africa’s mining districts, and South Sudan’s trading hubs. Our team verifies licenses, oversees on-site assaying, and manages chain-of-custody documentation. Shipments move from Obuasi to Dubai, Juba to Sharjah, Rustenburg to Shanghai—each with pre-cleared customs and ESG-compliant records. The UK office coordinates global compliance and client logistics. We do not trade paper, we move physical, verified material: reliably, ethically, and without intermediaries
"They moved gold from Ghana to the USA in 11 days full assay, clean permits, no customs holds. That speed and precision, repeated across 50+ shipments, is why we rely on them exclusively."
Rooted in Africa, Built for Global Markets
We envision a mineral trade system where African producers retain fair value, buyers receive fully traceable material, and every shipment: from Ghana to the UAE or South Sudan to China is backed by on-ground verification and ethical compliance.
Verification as Standard
We see a future where chain-of-custody documentation, independent assaying, and origin certification are baseline requirement, not differentiators for all African mineral exports, enabling trust at scale across continents.
Direct Sourcing Team
We engage directly with licensed artisanal cooperatives and certified mines in Ghana, South Africa, and South Sudan. Our field teams verify origin, support fair pricing, and ensure chain-of-custody documentation begins at extraction.
Verification Integrity Unit
Based in Obuasi, Rustenburg, and Juba, this team oversees independent assaying, export permit validation, and ESG compliance. They do not wait for requests they embed verification into every step, reducing delays and ensuring buyer confidence.
Global Export Coordination
Our London-based logistics cell manages customs pre-clearance, freight routing, and real-time shipment tracking for destinations including Dubai, Shanghai, and New York. Reliability to us is non-negotiable.
Growth And Innovation
CM MINING aims to facilitate $75 billion in mineral trade by 2030, building on $45 billion achieved by 2025. We will expand verified sourcing into two new African jurisdictions, strengthen UK-based compliance infrastructure, and digitize chain-of-custody reporting for all shipments. Our goal is not volume alone, but trusted scale: where every ton of copper, ounce of silver, and kilogram of gold carries full origin transparency, ethical certification, and seamless delivery to global markets without intermediaries.
