Australia eyes South Sudan’s mining sector (October 1, 2013) - The Government of Australia has expressed interest in investing in South Sudan’s mining sector.
The Australian government is currently assisting the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining to develop its mining, investment, licensing and mapping laws and regulations, Australian Ambassador Geoff Tooth said.
“We have provided some training; we have provided technical expertise here,” Tooth said.
The Minister of Petroleum, Stephen Dhieu Dau said that a number of South Sudanese students will early next year be given scholarships to study degree courses in the field of mining in Australia.
“Starting from next year, they’ll be offering long-term courses, degrees for those who’ll be studying in the universities in mining fields in Australia. But now, they’re offering licensing systems, where we’ll be now starting to issue licenses,” the minister said.
Mr Dhieu also said the support of the Australian government in the mining sector is important for the diversification of South Sudan’s economy.
