Geoscience
data dissemination remains to be a limitation towards the mineral
infrastructure development and growth in African States. A system should
be introduced to enhance administrative, exploration and mining
activities as to create productive interactive platform between the
Ministry of Mining and Public as a whole.
Data
availability and accessibility in African states have proved to be
outdated, in non-digital format and inappropriately organised. Mineral
Resource management without proper facilitation tools and
technologically advanced software systems have resulted in indistinct
geoscientific information which has resulted in minimal progress in the
quest to probe investment in the mining and minerals exploration
sector.
The
system should aim at proper management and dissemination of geological
information and mineral data production information. Administrative
components which includes mineral rights acquisition (exploration,
prospecting and mining rights) and monitoring of Environmental surface
rights. Regulatory frameworks such as Mines and Minerals Act,
Environmental Act, Mineral rights guidelines will be introduced into the
system to give accessibility and transparency of information to
interested parties.
Fundamental
benefits to be obtained from such a system will include efficient
revenue collection, compliance of mining companies with legislation,
platform for public to extract mining law and regulations, validation of
applications and renewals, and investor confidence.
