The youngest market in the book.
The greenstone around Kapoeta has been worked by hand for generations and the Mining Act 2012 gave the country a licensing framework. Much of what a mature market takes for granted is still being built, so we bring it with us.

01South Sudan
Kapoeta and the Equatorias
Artisanal production is centred on Kapoeta, with smaller fields in Central Equatoria and the north-west. We work with licensed dealers and cooperatives, consolidate in Juba and export through Juba International Airport under Ministry of Mining permits.
02South Sudan
Building the market
Accredited assay and reliable banking are thin on the ground. So we bring portable assay, benchmark pricing and settlement through regional banks, and we apply the same conflict-area due diligence we use in the DRC.
03South Sudan
Exploration
South Sudan's greenstone has seen almost no modern exploration. We hold and evaluate licences in Eastern Equatoria with South Sudanese partners.
