Fair Congo, a NGO’s company of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has exported conflict-free and responsible sourced artisanal gold for the first time to jewellers in the United States, according to a statement from Responsible Artisanal Gold Solutions Forum (RAGSF). The organization cooperates with the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and American companies to establish a legitimate supply chain. The gold is from South Kivu, exported by Fair Congo, processed by Asahi Refining in the United States, manufactured by Richline Group, and sold through brands under Signet Jewelers such as Kay Jewelers and Zales. Signet’s vice president of corporate affairs hopes responsibly sourced artisanal gold from the DRC will become a part of the mainstream gold supply chain.
