🟨 Mozambique to Lift Manica Mining Ban, Keep Restrictions on Gold Extraction

The Mozambican government has decided to gradually lift the suspension on mining activity in Manica province for companies not involved in gold extraction, marking a shift in policy after months of restrictions aimed at addressing environmental concerns.

• The Council of Ministers authorized a partial lifting of the mining ban for compliant non-gold mining firms.

• Gold extraction remains restricted until environmental standards and regulation conditions are met.

• The policy aims to protect jobs and sustain key economic activity while enforcing environmental compliance.

Mozambique’s balanced approach tries to reconcile economic recovery in Manica mining communities with ongoing efforts to resolve the environmental damage issues that initially triggered the ban.
