Solitaire International
|June 2017
Partnership Africa Canada (PAC) said the Just Gold project has successfully implemented a system to trace legal and conflict-free artisanal gold in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

The Just Gold project began as a pilot in Ituri Province in 2015. The announcement is a milestone for the project—moving it from the pilot stage—having proven a successful chain of custody from mine site to exporter.
“After almost two years of testing the Just Gold project with an aim to develop a chain of custody and due diligence system for artisanal gold in DRC, we are excited to share news of our success,” said Joanne Lebert, PAC’s executive director.
“The Just Gold project can now move from a period of testing to implementation and ensuring we have a long term, sustainable and viable solution for traceable, legal and conflict-free exports of artisanal gold from Congo. We look forward to sharing our lessons learned with key actors and to deepening our collaboration with the DRC government.”
