The African Mining Roundup is a synopsis of mining activity on the continent. The May 2014 roundup covers activities that happened in April from more than 28 countries. It also includes more than 80 separate news items in an easy-to-read, disaggregated format.

This month’s report includes details of London-listed Weatherly International’s flagship Tschudi opencut copper project, in Namibia, which is likely to cost 10% less than was stated in the 2012 bankable feasibility study; a new investment law, promulgated by the Egyptian government, which may lead to the dismissal of an administrative court ruling declaring gold producer Centamin’s right to operate the Sukari mine invalid; and South Africa’s platinum sector strike.

This report is a summary of information published in Engineering News and Mining Weekly, as well as of information available in the public domain, and does not purport to provide an analysis of market trends.
