Exploitation Permit (PE) 15181: A Multi-Metal Deposit in South Kivu (Mwenga & Walungu)

Exploitation Permit, PE 15181 is a strategic asset for INTERLACS due to its polymetallic richness. Located in the territories of Mwenga and Walungu, South Kivu, the permit covers an area of 19 squares. It is dedicated to the exploitation of critical minerals: cassiterite (tin), gold, and wolframite (tungsten).

Administrative and Historical Background: Like PE 15182, this title was converted from a Research Permit into an Exploitation Permit by Ministerial Decree No. 00240/CAB.MIN/MINES/01/2025 of May 2, 2025.

The original Research Permit 15181 had been initially granted on November 11, 2021, and was valid until November 10, 2026, pursuant to Ministerial Decree No. 00398/CAB.MIN/MINES/01/2021 of November 1, 2021.

Cadastral Details and Mapping: The PE 15181 documents below includes an extract of the mining cadastre map and the list of geographic coordinates for Title 15181.
The map illustrates the configuration of the 19 permit squares, located in the Mwenga region (with Walungu also mentioned), and shows its relation to neighboring permits such as 14942.
The 10 perimeter points are precisely defined according to the WGS84 system. For example, Corner 1 is located at Longitude 28° 32′ 30” E and Latitude -02° 50′ 00” S.

Strategic Importance: The presence of “3T” minerals (cassiterite, wolframite, and coltan/tantalum noted as a substance operated by INTERLACS), in addition to gold, makes PE 15181 particularly significant for INTERLACS. These minerals are essential for high-tech industries (such as mobile phones), positioning INTERLACS as a strategic supplier in the global market.
