Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda Mines, Petroleum and Gas Board (RMB) has announced the immediate<\/p>\n

revocation of mining licenses for seven companies which failed to comply with mining, environment safety standards.<\/p>\n

The revoked mining licenses pertain to the following seven companies:<\/p>\n

\u2022Ngali Mining Limited \u2013 License (Amethyst Concession) in Ngororero<\/p>\n

\u2022DEMIKARU \u2013 2 Licenses in Rubavu and Rutsiro<\/p>\n

\u2022ETS MUNSAD Minerals \u2013 1 License in Ngororero<\/p>\n

\u2022FX TUGIRANUBUMWE \u2013 1 License in Kamonyi<\/p>\n

\u2022Ngororero Mining Company (NMC) \u2013 2 Licenses in Ngororero (Nyamisa and Nyabisindu).<\/p>\n

Except Ngali\u2019s concession in Ngororero which deals in Gemstones ( Amethyst), most these companies extracted 3Ts- Tin (cassiterite), tungsten (wolframite), and tantalum (coltan) which are the minerals collectively referred to as the 3Ts.<\/p>\n

RMB said in a statement that this action is part of a commitment to fostering a safe, productive, and professional mining sector and that the companies have repeatedly failed to remedy serious deficiencies highlighted in earlier official cancellation warnings issued to the concerned companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese companies have breached safety, environmental, and labor standards, and have not met their investment commitments,\u201d RMB said in a statement released January 3, 2023.<\/p>\n

RMB stated that these mining license cancellations are part of the Government\u2019s efforts to implement measures that support and professionalize mining operations.<\/p>\n

Through collaboration with other Government institutions, RMB will continue to ensure the security and proper decommissioning of abandoned concessions while preparing for responsible new investments.<\/p>\n

RMB said that it encourages all existing license holders to continuously enhance their operations and maintain the highest standards.<\/p>\n

Mining remains an enabler of Rwanda\u2019s sustainable development.<\/p>\n

The mining sector is currently second to the tourism sector earning $852million in the first nine months (Jan-Sept 2023) compared to $584.8 million in the last year (2022).<\/p>\n

Between 2019 and 2023, the mining revenue sharing scheme allocated Rwf2billion to eight mining-host districts and in 2022, mining contributed Rwf27.7billion to the treasury.<\/p>\n
