Mozambique’s mineral potential is largely untapped. Gold deposits in Niassa, Tete, and Manica Provinces have attracted domestic and international investor interest in recent years. Gold mining has been slow to develop as most of its activities are done by informal artisanal miners. However, increasing regulation of gold mining may lead to larger scale production, as the Government begins to require miners to formalize their legal status. After ruby, oil, gas and a multitude of other mineral resources, Mozambique looks set to again shine with yet another great discovery, perhaps one of the largest in Africa and perhaps the world(according to reports). Gold industry production is, therefore, forecasted to grow in the upcoming years.
