PG EDWARD ATHIYO LORIKA, KARAMOJA’s GEM WILL KEEP SHINING 68 8 The Uganda Chamber of Mines & Petroleum Creating AN enabling ENVironment FOR MINING IN Uganda The title of this note is borrowed, word for word, from the theme of our 8th Mineral Wealth Conference (MWC2019), scheduled for October 2nd and 3rd 2019. The repetition is to emphasize our belief that it is high time the country benefited from its highly promising mining and minerals sector, like has been the case before. We all appreciate that for this to happen however, we will need to have the best conditions in place; hence the MWC2019 theme. Putting in place a new policy and legal framework is a good starting point by the Government of Uganda. Last year, the Cabinet approved the Mining and Mineral Policy for Uganda 2018, replacing the Mineral Policy 2001. And at present, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development is conducting consultative meetings countrywide, to gather stakeholder views on the draft Mining and Minerals Bill 2019. The Chamber has also prepared its observations on the same, which the Ministry will receive soon. Some of these are captured in this very magazine in the detailed analytical essay by Mr Denis Kusaasira titled “State Participation under the Minerals and Mining Bill, 2019: Is Production Sharing in Mining Projects Tenable?” of which I encourage all of you, and especially the Government officials to read and internalize. We would also like to applaud the state for securing a loan from Spain to fund the aeromagnetic survey of Karamoja, after a very long wait. This should encourage more investments in the mineral-rich region. The Government can also directly participate in extensive exploration to help quantify our mineral resource, which will subsequently attract the big players. Currently, the sector contributes only 0.3% to the gross domestic product (GDP) per annum, yet in the 1960s, when mineral production played an important role not only in export earnings but also in supplying raw materials to local industries, it contributed about 30% to GDP. This is the kind of potential that we continue to sit on. We commend Sipa Exploration, Jervois Mining, Samta Mines, Wagagai Mines, Rwenzori Rare Metals, Consolidated African Mineral Resources, African Panther and many others that are carrying out extensive exploration work in the country. The Chamber is committed to protracted lobbying at Government’s doors until Uganda’s mining industry takes off. We believe that with a more predictable and favourable legal regime and therefore an enabling environment, we will more than double the current investment in our mining and minerals sector overnight. We congratulate the Directorate of Geological Survey and Mines (DGSM) for clocking 100 years of existence and look forward to a more vibrant and productive century. I thank you.

He has reported from various countries in Africa, Europe and most recently in Asia, where he observed African migrants struggling to make a living in Hong Kong as part of a Wits China-Africa Reporting Project tour. Fredrick has a Master’s Degree in Communication for Development from Malmo University in Sweden and has won various continental and national journalism awards including the prestigious CNN/Multichoice African Journali st award in 2009 and the UN Development Journalism Award in 2013. When a Chinese consortium won a concession to revive production at the Kilembe mines in south western Uganda, which had stopped operating in 1982, he applied for a Wits China-Africa Reporting Project grant to find out what the investment would mean for the locals and for Uganda. The knocked-knee driver of the Boda Boda motorcycle revive the mine, however, and clearly the locals are hopeful whistled as he rode.

  • Mining in Protected Areas Wisdom Or
    April 2008 December 2008 28th Edition Mining in Protected Areas Wisdom or ..........? Growing tension between conservation and economic objectives remain a challenge to many countries! Development benefits flowing from protected areas and the need to reflect them in the plans and budgets of forestry, agriculture, energy, tourism, mining, fisheries and other economic sectors need environmental focus. Fundamentally, governments give overriding emphasis to economic growth as a goal in itself, and the critical dimensions of development relating to quality of life of the citizens tend to be sidelined. Some important attributes of protected areas which bring contentment, happiness, education, enjoyment and health to communities and wildlife fall outside an economic growth perspective.
