KIVU Resources is a mining and exploration company, with assets in the central African countries of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda, principally tin, tantalum, niobium and tungsten. KIVU Resources is a private company. It is the intention of its shareholders to apply for a listing on AIM during 2008.
KIVU Resources’ assets lie in the middle of the Central African Tin Belt, which straddles parts of the DRC, Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and Tanzania. Prior to the cessation of mining activities in the 1980s (owing to a downturn in the political and economic situation of the area) the Central African Tin Belt ranked sixth in the world in terms of tin reserves and production.
CAR has a Partnership and Management Agreement with SAKIMA, including an option to purchase an 80% equity interest in SAKIMA.
JSE-listed commodities trading company Metmar Limited announced on Tuesday that it had signed agreements facilitating its investment in a newly-formed regional mining company, Kivu Resources, operating in the Democratic Republic of
the Congo (DRC) and in the Republic of Rwanda (Rwanda).
