The Challenge
The Challenges Mining Companies Face
Mining companies operating in developing markets can face significant challenges across banking, documentation, logistics and access to reputable buyers.
Banking
Banks in Africa do not have credit facilities to accommodate purchasing of equipment and letters of credit.
Air Cargo
Air cargo is inconsistant, they usually work with freight forwarders instead of a dedicated carrier.
Reliable Documentation
Most mining companies do not have the financial means to cover all documentation costs required for exportation.
Cargo & Customs
Customs gets involved and the cargo gets intercepted because either the documentation is not correct or there is no proof of taxes and insurance payments.
Reputable Reseller
Many mining companies are forced to rely on irreputable and inconsistent sellers. The majority of times deals do not close.
From the source material
“Customs will ask for a bribe in order to ‘clear’ the cargo.”
Quoted as part of the source material's description of the challenges reported by mining companies in developing markets — not a general characterisation of customs authorities.

Community
Supporting the Surrounding Communities
REM's partnership model can also support mining companies and the communities surrounding them.
Our sister companies, REAL FOOD and IIP, can facilitate the purchase of equipment, food and medicine on behalf of the mining companies. As a part of the profit sharing model, a portion of the profits can be allocated to provide the necessities of the mining companies and their communities.
It should be noted that REAL FOOD and IIP uphold only the highest quality standards with all of the products that they sell. Which allows us (REM) to provide the best products to our mining partners and the surrounding communities.
