Cape Town – Mines Minister Mosebenzi Zwane is hopeful that amendments to the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) will create more opportunities for junior miners to enter the sector.
Speaking at an investment dialogue about opportunities for junior miners in the extractive industry at the 2017 Mining Indaba, Zwane said the South African mining sector continues to be driven by large conglomerates that employ thousands of people and are listed on stock exchanges across the world.
“But junior miners should also start taking up space in the extractive industry and investors must support them.”
