Forminière

The Société internationale forestière et minière du Congo (French; lit. 'International Forestry and Mining Company of the Congo'), known as Forminière, was a mining company in Belgian Congo. Founded in 1906 with an intended diversified portfolio of activities, it soon found diamonds in the Kasai region and made diamond mining its main activity. Its operations ended in 1962, soon after the independence of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and it was eventually dissolved in 1966.
