Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s integration into the Kimberley process certification system opens up good opportunities for the diamond industry and for strengthening the national economy, especially as regards creating job opportunities for young Mozambicans and supporting communities.<\/p>\n

So said Castro Elias, executive secretary of the Kimberley Process Management Unit (Precious Metals and Gems) in Vila da Praia do Bilene, on Monday, February 21.<\/p>\n

Elias stressed that, in order to avoid future conflicts, ongoing policies in the diamond sub-sector must take into account the social situation of people residing in mining areas.<\/p>\n

Elias noted that the social impact of the extractive industry on those living near mining concessions was still negligible, given the glaring paucity of essential basic services.<\/p>\n

\u201cCompanies must comply with the law of social responsibility regarding populations on the ground,\u201d he said. \u201cOne of the measures taken by the government to reduce conflicts was adherence to the Kimberley process. From then on, no rough diamond can leave the country without the Kimberley certification of its origin, destination and bearer,\u201d Elias told Not\u00edcias. This measure, he added, applies also to other precious metals and gemstones, which are now certified of Mozambican origin.<\/p>\n

Considering the strategy of prioritising precious metals and implementing new prospecting and production projects, an increase in direct labour is expected in the coming years, and a greater commitment to social responsibility must accompany it, Elias said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are waiting for the rainy season to end for companies to deliver their business plans, and then to select those prepared to continue their diamond exploration and exploitation activities. From there on, we will have an idea of how many jobs will be created for young people,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
