Congolese authorities have now turned to the United Arab Emirates, a hub for smuggling the metal to market gold. Both countries have established a company called Primera Gold TRC. The young structure will specialize in exporting gold from artisanal mining in South Kivu province. Primera Gold DRC delivered the first batch of gold sold directly to Dubai in Kinshasa on Friday, January 13. For Kinshasa, this is an opportunity to fight against trafficking, which feeds conflict in DRC’s eastern provinces.
