Mr Jean de Dieu Mutunzi, Executive Chairman of Aldango Ltd, says “Aldango is supporting

trading hub across Africa.” Mr Mutunzi will address the opening session of the
conference on “Building a state-of-art refining facility“ and take part

in the region”.
The regional mining community is already excited about what promises to be a
high-level sector gathering, with more confirmed government speakers including:

Hon. Francis Gatare, Chief Executive Officer, Rwanda Mines, Petroleum &
Gas Board (RMB), Rwanda
– Hon
Doto Biteko, Minister of Minerals, Tanzania

“We work hand in hand
with the RMB”
Aldango Ltd (Gold Refinery) is a Rwandan registered legal entity, developing
businesses in the gold and precious metal sector in Rwanda and the entire
continent at large.
In an exclusive interview Mr Mutunzi says “the company is desirous to add great
value to the nascent gold sector in Rwanda and beyond, so as to change the face
of mineral wealth in the region and solve the so-called resource curse that has
befallen the richest nations in sub-Saharan Africa. This is through the
company’s robust KCY (know your customer) and strict compliance policy. Aldango
has the capacity to process 200 kgs of gold per day.”
He adds: “we work hand in hand with the RMB, which have proven their expertise
in mining, processing and trading activities.”
Event exclusively
focused on industry
According to Mr Mutunzi, Aldango partnered with East & Central Africa Mining Forum “due
to the fact that the event is exclusively focused on the mining industry as
well as associated support services and we are convinced that this forum will
enable to boost Aldango’s profile, expand our networks and can create huge
impact to demonstrate Aldango’s product and services.”
He adds that their message will be to “inform the participants about the first
and only state-of-the-art refining facility in Rwanda, its value addition to
the country as well as the business opportunities and services Aldango can
offer.”
