Panjshir Province Sees Surge in Revenue from Emerald Mining In a significant boost to its local economy, the Panjshir province of Afghanistan has garnered a remarkable $362,977 in revenue from the emerald mining sector over the past year, according to the latest report from the Directorate of Mines and Petroleum. This impressive sum comes from a 10% royalty on the sales of the province's emerald output, which exceeded 50,000 carats with a total valuation surpassing $3.6 million. The mining activities in Panjshir not only contribute substantially to the province's revenues but also play a crucial role in job creation, providing employment to thousands of residents. This development is particularly noteworthy in a region that boasts some of Afghanistan's most significant deposits of emeralds, a gem that is highly prized on the global market for its quality and color. In an ambitious move to further tap into the province's rich natural resources, the Directorate is also laying the groundwork for the extraction of other precious and base metals, including gold, silver, ruby, and iron. These initiatives are expected to further enhance economic growth and provide additional employment opportunities in Panjshir, marking a promising future for the province's mining sector. #AfghanistanRising

⛏️ Eramet's subsidiary, Société Le Nickel - SLN - ERAMET has encountered difficulties with its #nickel mining operations in #NewCaledonia. 📉 #SLN's #mining production plummeted by 32% in the first quarter compared to the previous year due to issues surrounding mining permits. Operations have been halted in the northern province of New Caledonia since mid-April, due to disputes with authorities over the renewal of financial guarantees, with #Eramet's proposal for a one-year extension rejected as inadequate. This adds to the struggles of the New Caledonian nickel industry, prompting a proposed rescue package from the French government. Despite these issues, Eramet remains optimistic, expanding production in Indonesia and Gabon while forecasting increased output for lithium in Argentina. The company adjusted its earnings forecast upwards for 2024. MINING.com Reuters Reuters News Agency Gus Trompiz Tomasz Janowski

KEFI Gold and Copper Announces Tulu Kapi Gold Project Update Harry Anagnostaras-Adams, executive chairman of KEFI, commented, “The government’s push for the mining industry is beginning to see launch activities on the ground. At Tulu Kapi our initial activities are already focused on engineering internationally and community consultations locally. Physical activities at site will soon also become more obvious.” He added, “Ethiopian gold projects that have recently started launch preparations are likely to lift gold exports to US$1.3Bpa within three years, overtaking coffee exports as Ethiopia’s largest export sector. The mining sector growth initiatives can also be seen to be part of wide-ranging reforms of the financial system and economy for Ethiopia to re-ignite its historic high growth rates.” Read more here: https://hubs.la/Q02JkhGK0 $AIM $KEFI

The Islamic Republic enjoys significant #mining potential with more than 900 #mineral occurrences, including #ironore, copper, gold, silver, phosphates, quartz, diamond, #chromium, #manganese, lead, zinc, platinum group metals, rare earths, gypsum, black sands, salts and peats. It produced 14m metric tonnes (mt) of #ironore in 2013, positioning it as the second biggest iron ore #producer on the continent after #SouthAfrica. It boasts a largely untapped mineral-rich terrain and a vast 20bn mt of iron ore #reserves. One of the richest iron ore veins is located at the ridge of #Reguibat in the country’s north, with an estimated 2bn mt in reserves. Since 1974, SNIM (Société nationale industrielle et minière) (SNIM) — the state-owned industrial and mining company — has served as the primary manager of the country’s iron ore mines, operating the Guelb El Rhein, Kedia d’Idjill and M’Haoudat mines, located in the broader iron ore mining region around the town of Zouerate in the country’s north. Meanwhile, other significant iron ore deposits at Tamagot, Legleitat, Tiferchai and Kaouat — all located close to Zouerate — should help #SNIM reach its ambitious #production target of 45mn mt by the year 2030.
