Maison Clarke Minerals

Our mission & vision

“Victory Belongs to the Most Tenacious”

-Roland Garros

We take pride in being the first company worldwide to mine and export third-party validated, conflict-free artisanal gold from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Over three challenging years, Maison Clarke Minerals facilitated the legal recognition and professional organization of artisanal cooperatives in the South Kivu province of DRC. In partnership with the US and Dutch governments, we successfully produced conflict-free gold, benefiting local communities. Subsequently, we legally exported this gold to a European refinery. This pioneering project has established a replicable model for other high-risk regions globally.

Join us as we continue to produce gold of trusted provenance, that builds economic sustainability within some of the most overlooked communities on the planet.

Leadership

Jason Clarke, CEO

Jason is an entrepreneur with twenty years of experience working across markets in the U.S., Middle East, Africa, and Asia. As of March 2023, Jason led Maison Clarke Minerals to become the first company in DRC to mine and export conflict-free, third-party validated artisanal gold. This historic gold export has proven the DRC and other frontier markets are capable of sustainable, international investment leading to internationally vetted and recognized clean gold and critical mineral exports.

When approached by Eva to develop an artisanal mining business in the DRC, Jason uniquely understood the kind of challenges that would lay ahead. With his experience of living and working in Asia and the Middle East and with a desire to create transformative partnerships, he gladly accepted the challenge. After successfully overcoming the myriad of challenges of working in DRC and other frontier markets, Jason is excited to expand their efforts to new markets and to develop a constellation of products around gold as a store of wealth and hedge against economic instability.

Jason earned a degree in Law and Society from the Pennsylvania State University and a Masters degree in International Affairs from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Above all, he is a firm believer that the future looks bright for the well prepared.
