The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) will publish the deals of 60 mining companies as part of its review into the sector, the deputy mines minister said.

Victor Kasongo told Mining Journal the government would eventually publish the terms of the contracts during its review, due to last another two months.

Talks over new contracts were suspended in March when the government decided on the review, amid concerns over improperly formed agreements. Lawyers from the US-based Carter Center are providing independent advice for the review, which began on June 11.

Moto Goldmines Ltd executives were among the first to appear before the commission, Mr Kasongo said.
