Our Story

Rooted in Cameroon Since 2015

Africore Global Sarl was founded in 2015 in Douala with a clear mission: ensure that Cameroon's natural resources create lasting wealth for its people while protecting the environment.

From sustainable timber and premium charcoal to shade-grown cocoa and ethical gold, every division operates under strict traceability and community-first principles.

Africore Gold is our dedicated precious metals division — specializing in responsibly sourced 22K alluvial gold from licensed artisanal cooperatives in Cameroon's South-West and East regions.

We eliminate middlemen, enforce zero-tolerance for mercury and cyanide use, and direct a meaningful share of profits back into education, clean water, and reforestation.

Our Principles

Values That Are Not Words on a Wall

We hold ourselves to standards that go beyond certification — commitments we keep whether or not anyone is watching.

🔍
Transparency in Every GramScan the QR code on any invoice and trace your gold to the exact GPS plot, extraction date, and cooperative. No black boxes. No excuses.
⚖️
Fairness That Changes LivesOur workers earn 42% above Cameroon's regional average. Health insurance, paid maternity leave, and annual bonuses for every permanent employee.
🌱
Regeneration, Not Just SustainabilityFor every hectare mined, we plant 10 new trees. We run native-species nurseries and have restored degraded land across all operational regions.
🚫
Zero Tolerance — Full StopChild labour, forced labour, or illegal mining means immediate termination. We conduct 4 unannounced audits per year. In 2024, we ended 2 contracts for non-compliance.
🤝
Community Ownership12% of annual gold profit reinvested directly: schools, wells, and a women's cocoa cooperative now exporting under its own brand.
