The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is estimated to hold trillions of dollars in untapped mineral wealth, including some of the world’s largest reserves of cobalt, copper, coltan, gold and diamonds. Yet, despite this extraordinary geological endowment, millions of people continue to live in poverty.
The contradiction forces us to ask a deeper question:
How can a continent be rich in resources, yet remain poor in value creation?
The problem is not simply what lies beneath our feet. It is who captures the value, where that value is created, and how much of it translates into jobs, industries, infrastructure, technology and better livelihoods for the people above the ground.
For too long, Africa has exported minerals and imported much of the value.
The next chapter must be different.
We need to move from extraction to beneficiation, from exporting raw materials to building industries, and from mineral wealth to shared prosperity.
Because the real question is not:
“What minerals do we have?”
It is:
“How much value can Africa create from what it has?”
The wealth is beneath our feet. The opportunity is in what we build above it.
Meet Kenneth Asiimwe, #CEO of the Uganda Association of Artisanal and Small-Scale Miners @UGAASM_ joining the distinguished speakers at the 15th Annual Mineral Wealth Conference & Expo 2026. ⛏️🌍
His perspective will contribute to important conversations on artisanal and small-scale mining, responsible mineral development, and unlocking greater value from Uganda’s mineral resources.

🛢️Uganda’s oil has a name: PEARL SWEET.
But what happens after the naming?🇺🇬
In our latest DXE Podcast, we explore the story behind the name, what “sweet” means technically, why crude grades matter in global markets, and what it takes to turn Pearl Sweet from a name into a recognised crude oil brand.
🎙️ Watch: https://t.co/7h9jqKCaMc
Uganda has named its oil. Now comes the bigger question: what value will we build around it?

A few years ago, while sitting in one corner of Amber House, @arthurnatku was entrusted with a project that would become one of the most meaningful projects of his early career.
It was around November, with a deadline in January.
He remembers studying the industry, analysing trends, benchmarking organisations with strong digital identities, and thinking beyond what was needed at the time anticipating future needs and how technology could strengthen the organisation's positioning.
November and December flew by.
What drove him wasn't just the project itself. He wanted to see his thinking reflected on the digital face of an industry.
That project became https://t.co/HFy7pMlObt
Years later, another opportunity landed on our desk: https://t.co/Bs4lANviqs
And every time we are working on an industry platform like this, that same adrenaline gets into the room because these are more than websites. They are digital gateways for communication, stakeholder engagement, visibility, knowledge sharing and institutional credibility.
UGAASM represents thousands of artisanal and small-scale miners across Uganda, placing the platform within an important conversation around formalisation, responsible mining, livelihoods and national development.
But this time, something has changed.
He no longer comes simply as an individual.
We come as a brand.
We come as Chairo Solutions with a team, experience and a growing vision of using technology to build meaningful digital infrastructure for Uganda's industries.
From one desk at Amber House to building digital platforms for an entire industry.
The signature is no longer his alone.
It is ours.
