Precious Metals & Special Mineral Resources
Your Gold, Coltan and Cobalt specialist
BENTHEIM GROUP - OUR PHILOSOPHY
GOLD - is our most extensive precious metal
The Democratic Republic of Congo, located in the heart of Africa, like other African countries, possesses rich deposits of various mineral resources. To mine and exploit these resources, the government collaborates with experienced foreign companies and their skilled workers. The Bentheim Group has been awarded an exclusive contract for the mining, exploitation, and export of mineral resources in the southwestern province of Kwango.
What opportunities does the Bentheim Group offer
According to geological reports, the value of the minerals present is at least:
Diamonds: $4.5 billion
Gold: $8.0 billion
Cobalt: $12.0 billion
Coltan: $10.0 billion
Gold mining is scheduled to begin in 2025 .
With the existing licenses, the Bentheim Group has official permission to mine, purchase, and export gold in large quantities:
1. Gold mining: During gold mining, we will process approximately 200 tons of earth per hour. Mining will take place for eight hours per day, and we expect to extract at least approximately 140 kg of gold per month. At the current gold price, this corresponds to revenue of approximately USD 13 million per month, or approximately USD 156 million per year.
2. Gold purchasing: By purchasing small quantities of gold starting from one gram, we expect to be able to purchase approximately 160 kg of gold per month.
This corresponds to a revenue of approximately 14,94 million US dollars per month, i.e. approximately 179 million US dollars per year.

BENTHEIM GROUP & SUSTAINABILITY
GOLD - is for us, like a family affair with sustainability
Like other African countries, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) also boasts rich deposits of various mineral resources. Despite these abundant mineral resources, the majority of the local population suffers from poverty and a substandard standard of living. The Bentheim Group is the first and only company in the world to own all mining rights in the Kwango region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). One of the most important reasons for these exclusive agreements with the Bentheim Group is the mutual trust that has developed over the years, our excellent relationships, and the promise of "holistic sustainability."
Sustainability in the broad sense
For us, sustainability is not an empty promise – we commit ourselves and our contractual partners and trusted partners in the mining regions to consistently practice sustainable mining from start to finish.
For us, holistically sustainable mining means not only that mining itself is sustainable ("sustainability in the narrow sense"), but also that the standard of living of the entire population in the regions surrounding the mining areas is significantly improved ("sustainability in the broad sense").
Bentheim Group
The Bentheim Group is distinguished by the fact that, unlike many other mining companies, they do not operate purely economically from the point of view of profit maximization and place less emphasis on improving the living standards of the local population, as they do not see this as their task and consider it an additional cost factor. For such companies, sustainabilityis only a necessary evil, limited to a minimum, associated with effort and costs, which is necessarily communicated to the public, but is usually not implemented completely and correctly.
MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE BENTHEIM GROUP
Where does the gold come from?
The Democratic Republic of Congo, located in the heart of Africa, like other African countries, possesses rich deposits of various mineral resources. The government collaborates with experienced foreign companies and their skilled workers to mine and exploit these resources.The Bentheim Group maintains excellent relations with the government and several provincial governments in the country. The company has been granted an exclusive contract for the mining, exploitation, and export of mineral resources in the southwestern province of Kwango.
Congo is developing excellently both economically and socially. Economic growth is also very good. The security situation can also be described as good.
The country is very large and has experienced isolated problems with unrest in northeastern regions. Security is very good in the southwestern province of Kwango, and the province's location is ideal, as it's close to the overseas port for transporting coltan ore and the airport in Kinshasa for transporting gold. This makes it a safe investment in Congo, and German investors are especially welcome.
WHY INVEST IN GOLD?
The Bentheim Group is responding to global economic news and, like other providers, is experiencing increasing demand for gold. This is not only from banks and industrial companies, but now also from private individuals and small and medium-sized businesses who want to protect, preserve (restructure), and expand their assets. This allows them to deposit their assets outside the EU.
Opportunities for interested parties
The Bentheim Group offers investors the opportunity to participate in this process.
The investor provides capital to the Bentheim Group and receives repayment in the form of gold within a 11- or 20-month gold savings plan. This means the investor receives physical gold for their investment.
