African Mining Partnership Launched

Sixteen African ministers responsible for mining in their respective countries have launched the African Mining Partnership (AMP), with the aim of championing and coordinating mining and mineral-related initiatives under the auspices of Nepad - the New Partnership for Africa's Development.

Following a two-day meeting of AMP participants in Cape Town, South Africa's Minister of Minerals and Energy, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, said the ministers had identified mining programmes and projects in six key areas: Artisanal or small-scale mining; harmonisation of mining policies; environment and sustainable development; beneficiation; human resource development; and promoting foreign investment and indigenous participation in mining ventures.
