Cooperative Sourcing Partnership

Ethical mineral supply starts with fair partnerships. AFRICA GOLD works directly with licensed artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) cooperatives in Ghana and South Sudan, providing market access, advance pricing, and technical support while ensuring full traceability and regulatory compliance.

Who We Partner With

• Cooperatives registered under Ghana’s Minerals Commission ASM Framework
• Groups operating under South Sudan’s Mining Act and Community Agreements
• Teams with formal environmental management plans and community benefit records
• No involvement in conflict zones or child labor (verified annually)

How It Works

• We provide transparent pricing based on assay results—not informal trader rates
• We offer advance payments to support operational stability
• All material is field-verified by CMMINING teams before export
• We share impact reports with buyers (optional): community investment, jobs created, etc.

Where We Operate

• Ghana: Western Region (Tarkwa, Prestea), Ashanti Region
• South Sudan: Central Equatoria (Mukaya, Kajo Keji)

Why It Matters

Over 40% of our gold now comes from cooperative partners—a figure we aim to grow responsibly. This model reduces reliance on intermediaries, increases miner income, and delivers buyers with verifiable social impact.

Every cooperative undergoes annual due diligence, including site visits, member interviews, and document audits.

If you’re seeking African minerals with ethical origin and community impact—we build partnerships that deliver both integrity and supply security.
