Mozambique Proposes Mining Law Reforms to Increase State Stake and Ban Raw Mineral Exports
Mozambique is set to implement significant reforms to its mining laws, requiring the state to hold a minimum 15% stake in all mining projects and banning the export of unprocessed minerals. These changes aim to enhance domestic value capture from the country's natural resources. The draft revision of the mining law, scheduled for parliamentary debate, reflects a policy shift towards strengthening state participation and encouraging local mineral processing. The proposed framework allows the government to increase its ownership beyond 15% on a project-by-project basis and introduces stricter oversight across the mining value chain.
