Mining Webinar 2020

The West African (ECOWAS region) is made up of 15 countries of which contain some major mining countries in Africa, Guinea, Ghana, Mali and Burkina Faso, as well as emerging mining destinations such as Senegal, Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire. Mining law differs from country to country and are frequently changed when a new government comes to power.
This webinar will examine the various mining codes of the region, their regulations, and policies. At the same time, it will also examine the possible harmonisation of the mining codes that ECOWAS has recently implemented with the Regional Model Mining and Minerals Development Act.
The webinar will look at the advantages and disadvantages of individual mining codes across West Africa and at the same time examine how a regional approach may benefit all parties by facilitating investment. We will also consider the increasing importance of environmental and CSR obligations by investors and equally look at how their contributions are managed and attributed by the relevant government stakeholders. Transparency and accurate auditing are a key component of gauging the effectiveness of a mining code - how can this be monitored accurately to make sure companies report their revenue correctly?
