African Mining Brief

I commissioned the Wagagai gold mining project in Busia District today, celebrating a significant step towards processing minerals in Uganda. Under my leadership, we will not export unprocessed minerals, as this undermines our economy. Wagagai aims to achieve 99.9% purity in gold processing locally, benefiting Uganda financially and creating over 5,000 jobs once fully operational. I urge other miners to ensure minerals are processed before export. By maximising our natural resources, gold, lithium, tea, iron, etc., we can create jobs and industrialize Uganda. The Wagagai project is expected to generate over $100 million annually for 21 years, and we must leverage these resources for a sustainable future. I congratulate them!

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the incredible women who inspire, lead, and drive the mineral exploration and development industry forward. Tag the remarkable women from your network below - let them know you admire them! 👇 #IWD2025 #WomenInMining
