A Minerals and Mining Exchange has
been set up, to act as a central entity to offer support to enterprises and
individuals in the mining sector in their business, providing information to
facilitate access to capital, trading partners, markets for mining products,
better prices, supply chains, and to equipment. It will also coordinate trade
and business activities in the sector so that entities can cooperate and reach
a position of strength.

The main function of the exchange in the initial period will be to establish a
mining business information network. This will offer details on modern
practices of minerals exploration and extraction, and help provide assistance
to establish link-ups with international and other domestic organizations, and
also help organize meetings, exhibitions, and forums.
