Natural resources of Ethiopia are untouched and unexplored, says the Minister of Mines of Ethiopia

“The resources in Ethiopia are untouched and unexplored because previously we didn’t have the right skills or technology to explore and identify our resources. Now with the regime change and the change in policy we have amended our Mining Act and we are inviting investors from all corners of the world,” says H.E. Tolesa Shagi, the Minister of Mines of Ethiopia.

“If we qualify ourselves and regulate the sector in a proper, transparent manner we will reap great benefits from this sector, as will the investors. Obviously we have to respect the environment and the community and follow international standards,” he adds.
