Content: However, terrorism threats in the region kept investors away. Moreover, the inability of government to provide security in the mines also discouraged miners from working at the deposit. Despite all these external factors, the government is interested in encouraging investment in the production of gold and silver, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, platinum-group metals (PGM), tin, and zinc. Experts feel that the country needs to attract foreign investment and create job opportunities for the development of the mineral industry. However, the success of the mineral sector will also largely depend on elimination of political instability, improvement of security factors and establishment of efficient mining laws by the government in the future.
