Angola’s mining sector has enormous potential for growth and development and is one of the main pillars of the country’s economy. With a remarkable diversity of mineral resources, including diamonds, critical minerals such as lithium, cobalt and copper, and base metals, Angola has attracted growing interest from domestic and international investors.
The Angolan executive has implemented several initiatives to strengthen the mining sector, such as the creation of the National Agency of Mineral Resources (“ANRM”), the completion of the National Geological Plan (“Planageo”) and the accession to the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (“EITI”). These measures are aimed not only at attracting foreign investment, but also at ensuring that mining is carried out in accordance with international standards of transparency and sustainability.
The team of lawyers at PLMJ and PLMJ Colab Angola – RVA Advogados has prepared an essential mining investment guide for companies that already invest or want to invest in a sector that is clearly growing in Angola.
