CEEC Website

A Centre in Networks

Created by Decree number 09/57 of December 03, 2009, the Center of Experts, Assessment and Certification of Precious and Semi-precious Mineral Substances (CEEC) is a Technical Public Service of the Ministry of Mines. Born from the ashes of the National Center of Experts "CNE", it is a product of the liberalization of the exploitation, possession and marketing of mineral substances produced in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

In June 2011, the CEEC became a Public Establishment by Decree number 011/28 of 07/06/2011 fixing the statutes of a Public Establishment. One of the DRC's main treasures is precious and semi-precious materials in general and diamonds in particular. They are exploited and channeled to the official circuit for the benefit of mining operators, the local population as well as the Congolese state.

It should be noted that the CEEC regulates mineral substances in the various sectors. It controls the quantity and quality and then determines the value of the lots of materials intended for export.

The CEEC enjoys administrative and financial autonomy. It is chaired by a Managing Director, assisted by a Deputy Managing Director. It also includes Central Departments. Its work is relayed in the Provinces by the Provincial Directorates, Branches and Auxiliary offices. CEEC works in partnership with approved trading posts, mining companies and processing entities.
