Findings of that survey indicate that Uganda has 31 million tonnes of gold ore deposits. When refined, this can yield 320,158 tonnes of pure gold. This gold deposit is valued at over 12 trillion USD. While making the announcement on state television, ALSO READ: In the past 2 years, the government has undertaken aerial exploration across the nation. Consequently, this was followed by geochemical and geophysical surveys, according to Solomon Muyita, the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development spokesperson.

Vanishing mineral exports dent economic recovery Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Uganda’s non-formal export sector has maintained a downward trajectory year-on-year, according to the latest July 2022 figures from Bank of Uganda (BoU). The effect has been a dent on the otherwise emerging signs of recovery in exports buoyed by impressive gains around the coffee sector. The year-on-year (YoY) figures show that the nation earned US$1 billion from non-coffee exports in the fourth quarter of FY2020/21 but that dropped 30% to US$700 million in Q4 of FY2021/22. And a comparison of the monthly figures from the central bank shows the downward trend has persisted in the first three months of FY2022/23. The news is likely to worsen because, according to the figures, the growing gap is a result of the almost 100% disappearance of contribution from what has been Uganda’s leading export commodity; gold. After suddenly popping up on Uganda’s export radar in 2017, Gold exports were on an upward push from the calendar year 2019 (US$1.2 billion) to 2020 (Us$1.8 billion). But they dropped to US$1 billion in 2021 and appear unlikely to recover soon despite the government’s efforts to shore up interest in the sector with reports of huge new deposit findings. Year on Year to July 2022, the monthly value of gold exports has been zero, according to the Bank of Uganda figures. Analysts have blamed the government’s introduction in the 2021/22 FY of a 5% levy on every kilogram of refined gold exp...

Last month, the president of Uganda announced that nearly 32 million tonnes of pure gold deposits were discovered in Busia, a town in the eastern parts of the country. According to Ugandan news outlet Monitor, President Yoweri Museveni held a state-of-the-nation address on June 7 to break the news. The gold deposits are worth over US$12 trillion — almost CAD$16,000,000,000,000. That’s a lot of zeroes! The news made rounds internationally, with economists and financial experts weighing in on what it could mean for not just Uganda but the rest of the world and industries like crypto and mining. But everyone — laypersons and experts alike — is making one particular joke about the discovery, and it’s been re-churned in the most hilarious of ways. The joke revolves around the western countries’ history (and habit) of intervening, fighting humanitarian crises and terrorism, and “bringing democracy” to countries and draining them of their resources for personal gain, often leading to complete destabilization and war-like conditions for civilians.

List Of Gold Refineries In Uganda A gold refinery is the place where gold is separated from other metals or residues. In other words, it is where it gets refined. These companies generally work with scrap precious metals, and they recycle them through the process of refining, separating them into their pure forms, and repurposing them.

Reading Time: 8 minutes Gold bars ready for use. The vast continent of Africa is made up of 54 countries today. As this landmass has traditionally had a low human density for ages, colonization notwithstanding, it has retained an enormous treasure trove of abundant natural resources. Throughout Africa, massive quantities of valuable natural resources remain unharvested within the continent’s interior. While diamonds and South Africa are traditionally intertwined, Africa boasts other precious resources like nickel, uranium, titanium, oil, gas, precious gem minerals, and of course, gold. Lots of it. Where does the Gold Go? Gold is a vital precious metal for manufacturing jewelry, even though other imaginative metals are being utilized with today’s innovative designers. Reports from 2019 claim the jewelry trade used more than 2,200 metric tons of gold, which amounts to over half of all gold demand worldwide. India and China are the largest consumers of gold for jewelry use. Ancient Trails of Gold The current gold discovery is nothing new to the continent. West Africa’s gold was already a big commodity in the 5th century BCE. Once commercial relations were established at that time, West African gold made its way from trading islands to the north, eventually toward the Mediterranean cultures who used it for coins, personal adornment, and treasures for the wealthy. From the 5th to the 8th century, African gold was its main export owing to foreign demand for coinage. From the 15t...

KAMPALA (Reuters) - Uganda on Wednesday said recent exploration surveys have shown it has gold ore deposits of about 31 million tonnes and it wants to attract big investors to develop the sector hitherto dominated by small wildcat miners. Over the last two years aerial exploration was done across the country followed by geophysical and geochemical surveys and analyses, Solomon Muyita, spokesperson for the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, told Reuters. Muyita said an estimated 320,158 tonnes of refined gold could be extracted from the 31 million tonnes of ore. Most of the deposits were discovered in Karamoja, a parched sprawling area in the country’s northeastern corner on the border with Kenya. Large reserves were also found in eastern, central and western areas of the East African country. Muyita said Wagagai, a Chinese company, had set up a mine in Busia in eastern Uganda and was expected to start production this year. Wagagai had invested $200 million, he said, and its mine will have a refining unit. President Yoweri Museveni’s government has been seeking to ramp up investment in mining to develop resources like copper, iron ore, gold, cobalt and phosphates. Parliament early this year enacted a new mining law that, once signed by the president, will pave way for the creation of a state mining company. The company will compulsorily acquire a 15% stake in every mining operation and investors will be required to sign a production-sharing agreement with the gover...
