Cameroon has significant mineral resources largely under exploited. The contribution of the mining sector (excluding oil) in the GDP is still marginal (less than 1%).<\/p>\n
In its (2035) long-term vision, Cameroon intends to join the ranks of emerging countries with a strong industrial and mining sector.
\nTo accelerate industrialization, the country intends in its Growth and Employment Strategy (GESP), to intensify the exploration, exploitation and processing of mineral resources, attracting investors in these activities with high capital and technological intensity.
\nThe exploitation of known future world class deposits will significantly boost this sector.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0 The essential of solid mining is confined more or less in the informal sector of artisanal mining.
\n\u2022\u00a0 No industrial exploitation of mineral substance on which a concession can be signed has yet emerged in Cameroon
\n\u2022\u00a0 Low dissemination of existing geological potential;
\n\u2022\u00a0 Lack of geological and mining data :
\n– Absence of complete and reliable coverage in strategic geochemical and alluvial prospection
\n– Cartography at 1\/500 000 based on obsolete techniques (geochemistry, geochronology, GIS, ferromagnetism\u2026..)
\n\u2022\u00a0 Low development of basic infrastructure (ports, roads, railways, energy);
\n\u2022\u00a0 Existence of institutions for the organization and management of the sector (MINTMINES, IRGM, …) and many more being created (National Mining Corporation, National Geological Service, mining cadastre, mining promotion agency;
\n\u2022\u00a0 Existence of a renovated legal and regulatory framework (Law of 2010 on the Mining Code supplementing that of 2001);<\/p>\n
In this context of Cameroon’s mining strategy is as follows:<\/p>\n
Axis 1 : Improving the legal, regulatory and institutional framework (to make it more adapted to the requirements of the current economic and social context)<\/strong><\/p>\n 1.\u00a0 Finalization of the text of applications of the Mining Code Axis 2 : Development and improvement of the knowledge on mineral potential<\/strong><\/p>\n a.\u00a0 Elaboration of reliable geological maps and data (map at 1\/200000) (updating mining data) Axis 3: Improving the exploitation of mineral resources<\/strong><\/p>\n a.\u00a0 Facilitating the development of synergies between the various stakeholders of the sector (forum, a platform of exchange) Axis 4 : Development of mineral resources (processing)<\/strong><\/p>\n a.\u00a0 Support the establishment of training facilities in the fields of the mining industry As a conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n a.\u00a0 This strategy will favour the expansion of the mining sector which, truly, will position itself as an engine of renewed growth.
