Who Are We
Secam Local Miners are an indigenous artisanal mining company registered and operating since since 1989 and specializes in mining of non-ferrous metal like gold, diamond, silver and dealing primarily in gold dust and gold bars. We own and control several mining sites in mining communities of the Eastern Region of Cameroon, especially the town of Bertoua. You can contact us to buy gold in Cameroon.
Our Story
Before the discovery of six new gold fields where in Cameroon in 2012, there were only nine primary gold mining fields in Cameroon that were big enough to be nationally considered gold fields and SECAM LOCAL MINERS alone owned four of them. Being one of the prestigious mining companies in Cameroon to fully participate in the views and actions of the Artisan Mining Support and Promotion Framework (CAPAM), an outfit created by government to channel gold into the mainstream of industrial production, SECAM LOCAL MINERS held a high priority position in the scramble of those newly discovered gold fields and finally acquired unrestricted licenses to three, raising the number of her gold mining fields to seven
Today, with the discovery and acquisition of more gold mining fields in Cameroon we own 24 mining sites and counting, maintaining a capacity and the capability to meet your gold dust demand on weekly or monthly basis, based on the purchasing power of buyers as well as their satisfaction with our contractual agreement with other customers around the world.
Should you be interested, we would like you to indicate by contacting us for negotiation. The stock is located within the Cameroonian city, Bertoua Cameroon. You may also act as a broker or agent in sourcing for serious buyers on an 11% commission basis from us.
I must admit at this point that we often encourage all our customer to visit our local as they might be interested to invest and expand mines.
We are Common initiative Group registered here in Cameroon.Also note that we have little or no record on the internet because of fear to share our details on internet it might just fall in wrong hands.
Cameroon mining system is basically artisan.That is why we always advice foreign investors to aid us with modern mining material and equipment.
Our selling terms are very straight and forward we sell only 23+ carat Gold to international market and sell any lesser Carat (22,21,18 etc) to our domestic market here in Cameroon. At every point our business terms are negotiable. Since most of our village elders are illiterates we avoid a lot of paper work. However its obligatory for us to respect our state laws. We equally also want to let you know that we expect the utmost of transparency and honesty from our customers as we get into business.
We shall be grateful to furnish you with any further information that you may require after hearing from you and shall consider it a privilege entering into long-lasting relationship between both parties
Our Mission
The mission of SECAM LOCAL MINERS is to create value for all of our stakeholders through responsible mining. Management strives to act as a responsible corporate citizen by building projects together with the communities near our operations and by committing to using best available techniques as we carry out our actions. We aim to achieve benefits for all parties involved and to contribute to the sustainability and improved livelihoods for the communities in which we operate. Mining responsibly defines who we are as a company and drives our way of doing business.
Sustainability
Our long-term vision, to become a pre-eminent mid-tier gold producer in Cameroon and greater West Africa, depends on our ability to earn our social license to operate through the management of sustainability risks and challenges. To achieve this, we strive to conduct ourselves in accordance with the highest ethical standards. We place a priority on developing long-term and mutually beneficial relationships with host governments and communities, while working to minimize and mitigate the social and environmental impacts of our activities. There is no question that the success of our business is tied to the success and stability of our host communities and to our reputation as a responsible partner in resource development.
GREEN MINING
As stated on our Corporate Social Responsibility page, we do everything possible to give back to the people without any legal obligation as a sign of good faith. But this doesn’t stop us from reviewing our mining practices from time to time to minimize the negative impacts on these communities. Our mining operations are environmentally friendly. We also provide other mining companies services aimed at making them engage into green mining as we do.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Closely related to Corporate Social Responsibility and Green Mining, our commitments include;
- addressing the environmental, economic, health and social impacts and benefits of mining throughout their life cycle, including workers’ health and safety;
- enhancing the participation of stakeholders, including local and indigenous communities and women;
- fostering sustainable mining practices through the provision of financial, technical and capacity-building support to developing countries and countries with economies.
Cooperate Social Responsibility
Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) unit is in charge of making sure our company voluntary undertakes actions to either improve the living conditions (economic, social, environmental) of local communities or to reduce the negative impacts of mining projects we conduct in those communities. By definition, these voluntary actions go beyond legal obligations, contracts, and licence agreements. We enjoy giving back to those communities.
Our CSR programs usually invest in infrastructure (potable water, electricity, schools, roads, hospitals, hospital equipment, drainage repairs, etc.), building social capital (providing high-school and university education, providing information on HIV prevention, workshops on gender issues, information on family planning, improving hygiene, etc.), and building human capital (training local people to be employed by the mining enterprise or to provide outsourced services, promote and provide skills on microbusiness, aquaculture, crop cultivation, animal rearing, textile production, etc.).
Commitments
We are committed to setting the benchmark for responsible mining. We believe that as a responsible corporate citizen, our duties include assisting the development of the mining industry in Cameroon while working diligently to manage the impact of our operations, to provide a safe workplace for our employees, and to ensure that our host communities and Cameroon at large gain long-term sustainable benefits from our mining activities.
