DRC’s proposed new mining code a ‘grave risk’ - CoM

The Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC’s) revamped mining code is likely to set the mining industry’s development back by at least ten years, DRC Chamber of Mines vice-chairperson and former Mines Minister Simon Tuma-Waku said on Thursday. The “new-look” proposed legislation, which was submitted by the Ministry of Mines to government last month for review, would place the country’s mining industry at “grave risk”, he added.
