Randgold keen on DRC mining code review, partnerships to develop young industry

LSE-listed Randgold Resources on Friday said the mining industry would welcome a review of the Democratic Republic of the Congo's (DRC’s) existing mining code in a “young” industry still open to development. However, this review needs to be subject to an inclusive debate, with government and the mining companies agreeing on their needs and objectives and committing to a long-term growth strategy where the main criterion was the “profitability of the mines and not their size”.
