MINING AND QUARRYING Companies in North Korea
Mining and Quarrying companies in North Korea. Mining licences are public. The company holding one often is not the company running the mine. Extraction rights get granted to a specific concession-holding entity, while the real operating capital — and sometimes the real decision-making — sits a layer or two up, inside a joint venture with a foreign technical partner. The sector covers mineral, ore, coal, and petroleum extraction alongside sand, gravel, and stone quarrying. Many jurisdictions now layer resource-specific transparency rules on top of standard registration, including beneficial-ownership disclosure tied to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative — built specifically because ordinary company registers were not catching this.

The US Geological Survey estimated 2024 tungsten production at around 1,900 metric tons, nearly all exported to China, where North Korean tungsten concentrate accounted for an estimated 29% of China’s tungsten import volume that year; historically China has accounted for more than 90% of North Korea’s mineral exports, and mining infrastructure is widely described as outdated relative to world standards.
