2 Gov’t Entities Lead Compliance Review of Bea Mountain

51

Government has concluded a two-day compliance assessment of Bea Mountain Mining Corporation’s (BMMC) gold production, processing, and export procedures, according to a release.

The Bea Mountain Company operates in Kinjor, Grand Cape Mount County under a Mineral Development Agreement (MDA) with the government.

Led by the Minister of Mines and Energy, Wilmot Paye, and Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) Commissioner General, Dorbor Jallah, the assessment was part of ongoing efforts to ensure all mineral rights holders comply fully with the Minerals and Mining Law of the country.

The initiative is a key component of the government’s broader concession monitoring strategy.

The May 3-4, 2025, assessment focused on evaluating the company’s adherence to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) governing gold exportation.

The release said, a high-level, 20-member joint delegation comprising officials from the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP), Ministry of State for Presidential Affairs (MoS), LRA, and the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) conducted the compliance review.

According to the release, during the visit to Kinjor, the team inspected Bea Mountain’s gold smelting, packaging, weighing, and storage operations.

The delegation then proceeded to the Roberts International Airport (RIA), where they observed and reviewed the procedures related to the export of gold.

“This compliance visit is just the beginning. Every mining company operating in the country will undergo similar inspections. No one will be left out,” assured Minister Paye and Commissioner-General Jallah.

The delegation admonished the BMMC to stick to every tenet of the SOP of the MDA as the government remains committed to providing the enabling environments for investments in the country.

At the conclusion of the assessment, both officials emphasized that the primary goal of the exercise was to reinforce the government’s commitment to transparent and accountable oversight of the mining sector—from extraction and processing to valuation and exportation.
