The Mine Africa

About The Mine Africa

A trusted digital registry for Africa's mining sector: who is who, who is verified, and who stands behind them.

Who it serves

Artisanal miners, cooperatives, mining companies, service providers, buyers, and regulators across the African mining value chain. Verification is free and open to all of them.

What the tiers mean

Every member and organization carries a tier. Higher tiers mean more checks have been passed.

  • Tier 1: Confirmed

    The email address behind the account is confirmed.

  • Tier 2: Verified

    Identity documents were reviewed and approved by our team.

  • Tier 3: Fully verified

    The organization's registration documents were reviewed and approved. Members of a fully verified cooperative carry its endorsement.

Why you can trust it

Every registration, document review, and decision is written to a tamper-evident audit log. Nothing is verified by a machine alone: a person reviews every document.

Where we are

Phase 1 runs in Tanzania with gold and tanzanite mining communities. The registry is continental by design and grows with its members.
