Since our founding in 2004, SISED International Mining LLC has maintained a singular vision: bridging the gap between international investors and the vast mineral wealth of Sub-Saharan Africa through sustainable, responsible mining practices. As a U.S.-based company headquartered in Washington, D.C., we combine international expertise with deep local knowledge to create mining operations that benefit both investors and host communities.
Our Journey and Evolution
Our story began in Gabon, where we established our initial operations with a focus on understanding the unique challenges and opportunities of West African mining. By 2010, we had demonstrated our capability to identify and develop valuable mineral deposits, successfully discovering a significant gold deposit with an efficient investment of just $8 million and a dedicated team of 215 employees. This early success established our reputation for combining technical expertise with cost-effective operations.
The SMART Mining Approach
Today, our operations are guided by our "SMART Mining in Africa" initiative, which emphasizes sustainable resource development across our diverse portfolio of projects. This approach integrates:
- Environmental responsibility and awareness
- Local workforce development and training
- Infrastructure improvement
- Community engagement
- Technical excellence
Current Operations and Impact
Our current portfolio includes strategic projects in multiple countries:
In Guinea:
- Bauxite mining operations with state-of-the-art environmental controls

Building Strong Partnerships
We believe successful mining operations require strong partnerships at every level. Our network includes:

Looking to the Future

Our vision for the future extends beyond mere resource extraction. We're working to create lasting positive impacts in our host communities while delivering value to our stakeholders through responsible mining practices.
