Responsible Sourcing
Finance, Infrastructure and Support
Challenges
Access to financing has long shaped outcomes in the mining industry. While large-scale operations often benefit from public and private capital markets and sophisticated financial partners, small and medium-scale mines face significant barriers to securing the funding required for growth or new development.
Beyond capital constraints, many smaller operators lack the technical, administrative, and compliance capacity demanded by international buyers and regulators. This combination of limited financing and increasing regulatory requirements prevents many legitimate African producers from accessing formal, profitable global markets.
What We Do
Solutions
IEG Africa DMCC serves as a bridge between African artisanal and small-scale mining communities and global markets. Through our Mine-to-Market platform, we support miners with compliance, traceability, export facilitation, and direct access to reputable international buyers.
By combining rigorous due diligence, licensed operations, and emerging technologies such as blockchain-enabled traceability, we help advance responsible sourcing across Africa. Every transaction is conducted in line with international standards for Responsible Sourcing, Anti-Money Laundering, and Countering the Financing of Terrorism, ensuring confidence for all stakeholders.
Our Partners
Relationships built on trust and transparency
We work closely with trusted commodity users and licensed mining partners, building long-term relationships grounded in transparency, compliance, and responsible sourcing.
Commodity Users
Being well versed in the mining and precious metals industry, we understand the wants and needs of commodity users on every level.
As a result of our sophisticated legal, financial and governance infrastructure, we are able to streamline transaction costs, mitigate the risks of transacting in jurisdictions unknown to commodity users and ensure ongoing compliance both at source and the jurisdictions in which we operate.
Our services become a valuable tool that enable businesses to focus on their core operations.
Mining Partners
Over the years we have built strong, long-term relationships with licensed artisanal and small to medium-scale mining partners across Africa. We never take these partnerships lightly.
Every supplier is accepted only after passing our rigorous due diligence process, which always includes on-site visits and inspections in their areas of operation.
This same standard is applied to all stakeholders across the supply chain. We have designed a clear framework that guarantees fairness, security, and full traceability for all parties.
Sustainable business can only be achieved if all parties are treated amicably and measures are taken that provide all parties with a high level of security and comfort.
