A Cemac Gold Mandate License is required for anyone looking forward to buying and selling Gold, Diamonds, or other valuable minerals from any CEMAC Country. This includes Cameroon.
Buyers currently residing in Cameroon can apply for a Cemac Buyer’s Permit in person at the Ministry of Mines, Industries, and Technological Development at the Ministerial Building, Yaounde.
If you are not currently in Cameroon, obtaining the Cemac Buyer’s Gold Mandate License won’t be a problem at all since you can do it directly online here.
The primary purpose of the Cemac Buyer’s Gold Mandate License issued by the Ministry of Mines is to authenticate the buyer and give him/her the legal right to purchase gold and other minerals in Cameroon. No authorized seller is permitted to sell to anyone who does not hold a valid Cemac Buyer’s Gold Mandate License.
