And like has become commonplace of late, what with its ever expanding global outreach, this other deal has Chinese fingerprints all over it. Enter Tibet-Hima. The Chinese consortium is the new holder of the concession rights to the assets of sleeping copper giant Kilembe Mines Limited. A very significant transaction to Uganda’s mining industry, if ever there was one! In limbo for over 3 decades, Kilembe was for a long time the fulcrum of the country’s mining industry which at peak levels in the 1950s and 1960s, the sector accounted for up to 30% of Uganda’s export earnings. A combination of bad governance in the late 1970s and subsequently poor world prices of cobalt and copper, amongst other challenges had been central to Kilembe’s collapse. With its rebirth though, it is safe to proclaim the return of the mining industry to the high-table. The new cash injection in the Tiira, Busia goldfields by Greenstone Resources is another great development that could see Uganda matching up to the likes of Tanzania - seeing its goldfields in the greenstone belt geologically extends to our southern neighbour’s. And already, a growth in exploration licenses across the country demonstrates a sector on the up. Of course this would not have been possible without a government dedicated to diversifying the economy like President Yoweri Museveni’s has been. Together with the World Bank/IDA, African Development Bank and the Nordic Development Fund, the Government of Uganda initiated a project from 2003, that ended recently. It was intended to operationalize the Mineral Policy and address the technical constraints of the mineral sector like a lack of adequate data. As such the acquisition of extensive geoscientific facts such as airborne geophysical survey data covering 80% of the country; geological and geochemical surveys data together with mineral resources assessment figures has directly set-off an upsurge in application for mineral rights across the country. Gold, copper, limestone, rare earths elements, vermiculite, tin, tungsten, phosphates, marble amongst many other minerals can be found all over the country, these studies have shown and the time is now to exploit this great opportunity Mother Nature has presented us. There is willingness by the business community to take the bull by the horns and we pray that Uganda’s political leadership should also continue to move with us like it has done so far. I hope we all have excellent deliberations at the second annual Mineral Wealth Conference 2013.
