Monrovia, Liberia: The Government of Liberia has concluded a two-day compliance assessment of Bea Mountain Mining Corporation’s (BMMC) gold production, processing, and export procedures. The 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 James Dorbor Jallah, the assessment is part of ongoing efforts to ensure all mineral rights holders comply fully with the Minerals and Mining Law of Liberia. 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. 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.

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 Liberia 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 tenets 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.
