text:
The Société Minière et Industrielle du Kivu (Sominki) was a privately held mining company of Zaire.
It operated gold and tin mines, mostly in South Kivu province, between 1974 and 1997.
The acquisition of its mining assets by Banro Corporation of Canada was complicated by the First Congo War in 1996–1997, followed by expropriation of the mines by the new Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) government. Eventually Banro gained the right to exploit the gold mines.
