LUSAKA, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Zambia has resumed the issuance of
new mining licences, renewal and transfer of rights which it
suspended in August last year, its mines minister said on
Thursday.
Mines minister Christopher Yaluma said the government had
since the suspension established new licensing regulations to
improve the administration of mining and non-mining rights.
"In view of this development, I wish to declare the
resumption of the issuance, renewal and transfer of mining
rights and non-mining rights with effect from Monday," Yaluma
told a media briefing.
