Welcome To AMIC
American Mineral Import Company
A pioneering force committed to transforming the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) landscape. Through strategic partnerships with resource-rich countries, AMIC aims to introduce ethical, safe, and secure mining practices, offering a dignified livelihood to former ASM miners. Join us in our mission to import critical minerals like cobalt, essential for industries that form the backbone of the global economy, including aerospace, defense, and renewable energy.
About Us
Our Ethical Mission
AMIC is founded on the principle of ethical mineral sourcing. Our operations in countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Uganda, and the Central African Republic (CAR) prioritize the well-being of local communities and the environment. By adhering to strict legal, regulatory, and United Nations guidelines, we ensure our minerals are not just clean, but also contribute positively to societal and economic development.
Our Strategic Approach
Consolidating ASM under Ethical Practices
We aim to consolidate the fragmented ASM sector, providing former miners with ethical work conditions, safety, security, and a living wage. Our initiatives extend beyond mining, with significant investments in local communities to improve education, healthcare, and overall quality of life.
Market Analysis and Strategic Importance
With global demand for critical minerals soaring, AMIC addresses the strategic national security concern of reducing reliance on unethical mining practices and diversifying the supply chain away from dominant players like China. Our focus on minerals essential for batteries, electric vehicles, and high-tech products positions us as a crucial player in securing economic and national security for the U.S. and its allies.
Navigating the Global Supply Chain Challenge
The United States’ dependency on foreign nations for critical materials, notably from regions under significant Chinese influence, presents a stark national and economic security risk. This vulnerability was starkly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, when disruptions in global supply chains led to acute shortages of vital resources. AMIC addresses this “Elephant in the Room” by diversifying the source of essential minerals such as cobalt and rare earth elements. Our initiative not only reduces dependence on adversarial nations but also strengthens the resilience of the U.S. and allied countries’ supply chains, ensuring that they remain self-sufficient in critical industries like defense, energy, and telecommunications.
By partnering with the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and the Central African Republic, AMIC is at the forefront of creating a stable, ethical, and diversified supply chain that is crucial for the production of high-tech devices, electric vehicles, and defense systems. Our efforts align with strategic national interests, promoting economic independence and securing the future of essential industries in times of global uncertainty.
