Get to know us

JACA Gold Trading (PTY) Ltd, henceforth referred to as "JACA," is a dynamic gold and diamond exploration and mining company registered in South Africa, with operational offices located in Luanda, Angola. Our core mission centers around the responsible production of high-quality, ethically sourced gold and diamonds within the rich mining landscapes of Angola.

At present, JACA has successfully acquired the transfer of a significant gold concession situated in the province of Huila, Angola, which we refer to as the "Current Concession." Leveraging our expertise and commitment to innovation, JACA has meticulously developed a pioneering solution aimed at introducing a regulatory framework tailored specifically for small-scale mining operations in Angola.

This bespoke solution is poised to revolutionize the small-scale mining sector in Angola, promising substantial financial benefits for JACA. Initially implemented within our own concession area, this innovative framework will subsequently be expanded to encompass other regions, thereby catering to the economic needs of small-scale miners while upholding ethical and dignified mining practices.

By ensuring an uninterrupted supply of high-quality gold to our esteemed international clientele, JACA anticipates immediate profitability in the short term. Furthermore, our strategic vision extends beyond short-term gains, as we foresee our tailor-made solution supplementing our larger opencast and underground in situ gold operations in the long term.

As this unique model is progressively introduced into additional areas, JACA anticipates that its profitability will eventually rival, and potentially surpass, that of our primary gold production endeavors. Indeed, our short-term tailor-made solution is poised to evolve into a lucrative standalone business venture, offering an end-to-end business model unparalleled in the Angolan mining landscape.

Our comprehensive approach addresses longstanding challenges within the Angolan gold mining industry, presenting innovative solutions tailored to the needs of both startup ventures and established small-scale mining enterprises. With governmental approval and active collaboration, JACA is set to establish a cooperative framework for small-scale miners, ensuring that participating members adhere to stringent ethical and operational standards.

This cooperative initiative will not only facilitate access to our concession areas but will also incorporate a robust policy framework mandating ethical mining practices. In essence, JACA's tailored solution represents a pioneering endeavor, heralding a new era of sustainable and responsible mining practices in Angola.
