Official Statement
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SPILL CONGO SARL Secures Full Exploitation Permit (PEPM 13492) for the Maniema and Sud-Kivu Gold Project.
Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo – Wednesday, October 8, 2025
– SPILL CONGO SARL, a registered mining company in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, announces a transformative milestone with the official granting of the Small-Scale Mining Exploitation Permit (Permis d’Exploitation des Petites Mines – PEPM 13492) for its flagship Punia Gold Project.
This permit, granted by the Cadastre Minier (CAMI) and the Ministry of Mines, formally authorizes SPILL CONGO to commence mining operations on its 209 km² concession, located in the highly prospective Maniema Gold Belt. The transition of the license from a Permis de Recherches (PR) to a PEPM marks the culmination of years of rigorous geological surveys, feasibility studies, and environmental assessments, and signals our official entry into the production phase.
“The granting of the PEPM is not just a permit; it is a key that unlocks the vast, spilled potential of this land, as our company name signifies,” said Obed Tshilomboji Muyumbe, Co-founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of SPILL CONGO SARL. “This is the definitive green light from the Congolese authorities, validating our project’s legitimacy and economic viability. We are now poised to move from theory to practice, from potential to production, and we are ready to begin generating value for our nation and our investors.”
The Punia Gold Project is situated in a region renowned for its high-grade gold deposits. Historical fieldwork and independent lab analysis have confirmed significant gold mineralization, with sample results as high as 16 g/t Au and widespread alluvial deposits. The initial phases of the project will focus on organized artisanal mining and semi-industrial alluvial dredging, targeting a minimum production of 45 kilograms of gold per month, with an estimated value of over $2.5 million monthly.
With the PEPM 13492 now in hand, SPILL CONGO is actively engaging with potential investment partners to secure the $XXX million USD required to launch Phases 1 and 2. This investment will be allocated to the deployment of equipment, formalization of local mining cooperatives, and the establishment of full operational infrastructure on site.
“This permit de-risks the project significantly for our partners,” added Obed Tshilomboji Muyumbe, Co-founder, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The path is clear, the resource is proven, and the legal framework is secured. We invite serious investors to join us in this venture, which is structured to allow for rapid capital reimbursement and long-term, substantial returns as we progress towards full industrial-scale mining.“
SPILL CONGO SARL extends its gratitude to the authorities of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for their support and reaffirms its commitment to operating with the highest standards of transparency, environmental responsibility, and community engagement.
