LEX Africa launches Pan African mining guide

Africa Update

Mining in Africa is an integral and important part of the continent’s economy. Many mining projects suffer extreme risks and difficult decisions and sound mining law is integral for an investment decision. LEX Africa‘s specialist mining team is proud to launch the first edition of its Pan African mining guide which covers 15 key African countries, Angola, Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

Says Pieter Steyn, Chairman of LEX Africa and director of South African member Werksmans “Mining requires specialist legal advice. Our mining team is headed by my colleague Chris Stevens, the head of mining at Werksmans, and focuses on providing practical, value added local “on the ground” expert solutions. The guide is designed as a reader friendly summary and will be updated annually. Other specialist guides are planned.”
