adminGOVERNMENT is working on setting up the mining cadastre system. This will see the computerisation of the country’s register of mining rights and titles to improve administration and avoid double title allocations. The current system is going to be changed mainly to minimise the disputes that the country has been facing, which emanate from lack of surveyed information.
