Inclusive Sustainable Resource Development
Mapping the Undeveloped Resource Base of The Central African Republic
CAR Geoscience has contracted to use its geological intelligence to map the country’s resource base to accepted international standards enabling the country to sustainably develop its unexploited rich natural wealth.
Central Africa Republic Overview
Central African Republic is located in the Centre of Africa that borders Cameroon, Chad, South Sudan, Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo.
End of the “Resource Curse”
Historically the exploitation of natural resources in developing economies has been inequitable for the local community and most governments resulting in what is known as the “Resource Curse”. The mapping of the countries mineral wealth using geological intelligence will provide the knowledge needed to ensure that the countries natural resources are sustainably and fairly developed.
CAR Geoscience Increases The Government’s Overall Return
CAR Geoscience will work closely in key areas with the Central African Republic National Mining Corporation.
CAR Geoscience national survey using geological intelligence will accelerate sustainable resource development and enable the government to increase yield due to the fact that it will provide licensee with data and the licensee goes straight to exploitation license as no longer needs exploration license.
Car Geoscience
- Surveys the countries resource base using geological intelligence

Natural Resources are Central to Industrial Progression
Natural Resources have always been central to industrial progression and the sustainable metals needed for new tech and green energy will be one of the main drivers for commodity demand growth in the next three decades.
The Central African Republic has a rich unexploited resource base with a swath of ancient rocks, dating back billions of years that record significant aspects of Earth history and will yield many of the minerals that will be needed for the 5th Industrial Revolution.
1st Industrial Revolution - 1760
2nd Industrial Revolution - 1870
3rd Industrial Revolution - 1969
4th Industrial Revolution - 2000
5th Industrial Revolution - 2020
Geological Orogen: Archean to Neoproterozoic
The geology of Central Africa is dominated by Precambrian cratons of Archean and Lower Proterozoic age, Pan-African mobile zones of Upper Proterozoic age and intracratonic sedimentary basins ranging from the Proterozoic to the Quaternary.
The Precambrian history of this part of Africa is commonly described as a process of progressive cratonization, or the gradual addition (also called accretion) of a series of successively younger mobile or orogenic zones or belts to the oldest crustal nuclei (older land) of early Archean age.
Initial Licenses to Central African Republic National Mining Corporation
Initial work carried out by CAR Geoscience geologists has resulted in 12 licenses being granted on areas covering 6,000 sq km to the Central African Republic National Mining Corporation.
The Central African Republic National Mining Corporation is focused on the following specific resource areas: Iron Ore, Copper, Precious Metals, Industrial Minerals and Battery Minerals.
The Iron Ore Company has taken 5 licenses and from initial work they estimate that there will be between 2.5 bn (t) – 5 bn (t) of Iron Ore on the properties licensed.
