A Colombian consortium awarded FCfa 128 million contract to organise traditional mining in Cameroon
A Colombian consortium gathering
the companies ARM, Geuss and ELL has just been declared winner of a FCfa 128
million (USD 233,569) contract, for the implementation of a “pilot project,
to support the organisation of traditional miners” in the Ngoura and Akom
II arrondissements, located respectively in the Eastern and Southern regions of
Cameroon.
According to the official communiqué awarding this contract, the
activities to be undertaken will consist in a diagnostic of the mining
practices in the aforementioned areas; sensitising the traditional miners for
the recognition and development of traditional mining; training the miners on
traditional mining methods; sensitisation to the use of formal networks to open
markets for the products; etc.
This project will be executed as part of the
Capacity Building Project in the Mining Sector (Precasem) in Cameroon,
established by the Ministry of Mines, through financing from the World Bank.
As a reminder, in the mining
fields of Cameroon, over 70% of the gold production (which is the main product
mined in the towns concerned by the project) is sold to dealers, who, according
to the traditional miners, sometimes offer buying prices which are more
attractive than the ones offered by CAPAM, the system set up by the government
to help channel Cameroonian gold through formal networks.

Cameroonian scammer arrested in Montreal (canada
The Sûreté du Québec announced Wednesday the arrest of an alleged fraudster specialist of a scenario called "Black money scam", in which victims are invited to participate in the cleaning of soiled banknotes, then are robbed during the operation. Cyrille Ngogang, 49 years old, was caught red-handed in downtown Montreal Tuesday afternoon. He appeared in court this morning to be charged with fraud and breach of commitment. The man is not in his first trouble with the law: he was previously arrested by the SQ on 19 January for charges related to the same scheme, and had been able to resume its freedom under strict conditions pending his trial. There are several variants of the 'Black money' scenario, but all involve a so-called batch of cash that has been stained with a dye or colouring substance. Scammers ask their victim to provide money to clean the hoard.
