Ghana Mandates Newmont, AngloGold, Zijin to Transition Mining Operations to Local Firms

Ghana Mandates Newmont, AngloGold, Zijin to Transition Mining Operations to Local Firms

Ghana's mining regulator has instructed international mining companies Newmont, AngloGold Ashanti, and Zijin to transfer their mining operations to local contractors by December 2026. This directive follows Ghana's revised local ownership rules, which require surface mining to be conducted by fully Ghanaian-owned firms and underground mining by companies with at least 50% Ghanaian ownership. The move aims to increase local participation in the mining sector and retain more value within the country. Companies failing to comply with the deadline may face sanctions, including fines or potential shutdowns.

Kazakhstan's Legal Changes in Mining Sector Raise Concerns Among Western Investors

Kazakhstan's Legal Changes in Mining Sector Raise Concerns Among Western Investors

Kazakhstan is experiencing a surge in interest from Western mining companies due to its rich mineral resources and a relatively developed legal framework. However, recent changes in the country's mining laws have raised concerns among these investors. The Kazakh government has been modifying its tax code and sub-soil use laws to increase state control and ensure a larger share of profits. These changes include the introduction of a royalty system for new operations and increased taxes on uranium, silver, and gold. The government is also prioritizing companies that promise to build processing operations and is considering giving the state mining company priority in licensing. These legal shifts have caused unease among Western investors, who fear that the changes could undermine the transparency and reliability of Kazakhstan as a mining jurisdiction.
