PNG Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative’s Post

This is the best way to adopt by ensuring by involving local stakeholders in the project.

The small manageable problem I observed within the local community where our physical class is held (i.e. Keffi, Nasarawa State) is the absence of a facility to project digitally for 3MTT Nigeria participants. This is a problem because it affects the practicality of the physical class where fellows can follow directly as the instructor proceed with the class of the week. My track's key concept is on gathering, cleaning, analyzing, mining, interpreting and presenting data to bring about insights, solutions and conclusions to stated problems. As such, in order to attain a feasible solution to the earlier identified problem, it is paramount to collect data from active fellows, mine, analyze, interpret and compile the result, thereafter, proceed to the relevant authority in charge of the venue where the physical class takes place and present the findings to them for lasting and effective solutions. #3MTT #My3MTT #3mttweeklyreflection #3mttnigeria

Tanzania's mining sector is a significant source of economic activity, and metallurgical engineers play a crucial role in this industry. Here are some opportunities for metallurgical engineers in Tanzania: * Mineral processing: Extracting valuable metals from ores using various techniques like flotation, smelting, and electrorefining. * Material science: Developing new alloys and optimizing existing ones for use in mining equipment and infrastructure. * Quality control: Ensuring the quality of metals produced by mining companies meets industry standards. * Research and development: Contributing to the development of new and more efficient processes for mineral extraction and metal production. The demand for skilled metallurgical engineers is expected to grow in Tanzania as the mining sector continues to develop.

𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗼! Sundance Resources is making a change of shareholding in Mbalam and Nabeba, an iron ore extraction project between Cameroon and Congo. The definitive feasibility studies for the Mbalam and Nabeba projects, which involve the construction of a 70-kilometer rail line that will connect 510 kilometers of railway in Cameroon to the Nabeba mines in Congo, were completed in 2011. Sundance's shareholder structure has changed, with Hanlong Resources Ltd. acquiring a 15% stake in the leading minerals company, and Hanlong Resources Ltd. became the major shareholder of the company by a resolution effective March 12, 2024. After slowing down due to the Covid-19 outbreak, project activities are expected to be reactivated in 2024. With the start of Mbalam and Nabeba, economic and infrastructural developments in the region are expected to accelerate. These developments are expected to be supported by local companies contributing to iron ore mining, which is expected to make significant contributions to the region by revitalizing the local economy, and the infrastructure projects mentioned in related to these activities. https://lnkd.in/dggzYCxu

Mineral Resource Exploration Agreement between PPL and FWO This block has strong potential for porphyry deposits including copper and gold. Karachi: A mineral resource exploration agreement was signed between PPL and FWO. Pakistan Petroleum Limited (PPL) has partnered with Degan Exploration Works (DEW), a subsidiary of Frontier Works Organization (FWO), for exploration and production of mineral resources in EL-207 block located in Chagai district of Balochistan. The agreement has been signed. As part of PPL’s business diversification strategy, this step will play an important role in strengthening the company’s business in the mining sector in Balochistan. In the presence of CEO Imran Abbasi and DG FWO Major General Abdul Sami, GME and CBD Arshad Palikar from PPL and Qaiser Rafique from DEW signed the agreement.
