The
MGB, as steward of the country's mineral resources, is committed
to the promotion of sustainable mineral resources development, aware
of its contribution to national economic growth and countryside
community development. It fully recognizes that the development
of a responsive policy framework in partnership with stakeholders
to govern mineral exploration, mining and investment decisions and
an effective institutional structure, are fundamental requisites
for the sustainable utilization of the country's mineral resources.
It is adherent to the promotion of geological studies as an integral
element of socio-economic development, environmental protection
and human safety. Yet, it is sensitive to the known environmental
impacts of mining and the need for restoration and rehabilitation
of mining affected areas and the development and adoption of environmental
and geoscientific technologies. |
