‘’In reality, you can look through the historical archives, Rwanda was a substantial contributor to mining back in the 1940s and 50s. Let's face it: the geology does not have passports; rocks don't get to a political border and say okay we stop here.’’ Ray Power, the CEO of Power M, a company specializing in the extraction of coltan and cassiterite, which has also made investments in the sector in Rwanda, responds to circulating rumours that Rwanda lacks mineral resources and instead steals them from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). #RBANews ▶️: youtu.be/GoWUCGKVFZg

This afternoon, Prime Minister Dr. Ngirente visited Rukaragata mine in Ngororero District. The mine owned by Power M is specialized in extraction of coltan and cassiterite.

Improved lighting in mines does not only assure heath, safety, security and increase of the productivity; but also breaks gender stereotypes and increases women's participation and their rights protection against SGBVs, etc @RwandaMinesB @nsengudot @J_McQuilken @IntWIM @AWIMA2063
