Content: Over the last two years it has signed more than 50 agreements for gold and iron mining as the country needs to capitalize on its gold reserves. Global gold mining companies from Australia, Europe and the US are already involved in gold exploration activities. Newly formed South Sudan is now formulating its own mining law, which is likely to be ready by October this year. This would help the mining sector begin functioning in full force. The new government is also keen to focus on other mineral reserves so as to avoid over-dependence on the oil sector.
