Sudan has a long history and a big heritage of Mining culture which go back to three thousand years when Nubians extracted gold and base metals and smelted iron to make water wells.
London Dec 12-2017 14
The mineral sector’s
influence on Sudan’s
economy was
significant because of
petroleum production
and refining. In recent
years, cement and gold
production became
more significant to the
Sudanese economy. In
2016, Sudan played a
significant role in the
global production of
gold, accounting for
nearly 4% of the
world’s gold mine
output. London Dec 12-2017 15
more than 150 concession agreements for exploration and exploitation of various mineral commodities have been signed between the government of the Sudan and national and international mining companies
