The Democratic Republic of Congo's Mining Cadastre Authority (CAMI) presented its operational and financial performance to members of the Senate's ECOFIN and Good Governance Committee on May 8, 2026, at the invitation of the Senate President. The session was led by CAMI's Board Chairman, Crispin Mbindule Mitono, and Director General, Popol Mabolia Yenga.
CAMI reported that transfers to the public treasury reached $32.4 million in 2024, compared with $11 million in 2023 — a near-threefold increase over a single fiscal year. Authorities indicated that this trajectory has been sustained into 2025 and 2026, though no specific figures for those periods were disclosed. The institution also reported the recovery of 50,000 square kilometres of mining perimeters by the state over the past two years through a continuous audit and rectification of the cadastral register.
For the first time since 2003, CAMI stated that all of its statutory governance bodies are now fully constituted, a development attributed to directives from President Félix Tshisekedi. The authority outlined a medium-term roadmap for 2025 to 2030 encompassing cadastral digitisation, drone-based surveying, e-government integration, ISO 9001 certification, and alignment with the DRC-US strategic minerals agreement framework. No budget figures or implementation timelines for the technology programme were disclosed.
