South Sudan government plans a comprehensive mineral mapping to assess the nation’s natural wealth and pinpoint resource locations.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Mining Minister Martin Gama Abucha announced the initiative at the reception for the new Undersecretary Dr. Matiok Santino Akuei.<\/p>\n He stated that detailed geological studies will provide a vital understanding of South Sudan’s unique mineral resources.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the morning, I had to go to the Ministry of Finance because one of the most important works of this ministry is a geological survey, we must map our resources,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n “So that we may understand what we have, what quantities we have, and where they are. So that is one of the things we hope to do. It will entail a geological survey of the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Abucha also announced that the last touches are being put in place to officially operate a seismological centre in Rajaf payam of Central Equatoria state.<\/p>\n The National Seismological Center will be a laboratory with a seismic hazard microzone that detects every quake, and tremble, and tracks the earth’s heartbeat.<\/p>\n He cited that in a short time, South Sudan will be able to monitor its own earthquake rather than relying on outside sources.<\/p>\n \u201cWe talked about building the geological, there’s actually the seismological centre which is already underway – I believe it should only take a few months,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe should be able to monitor our earthquake rather than relying on outside sources. We should be able to track it from here. So, this is a really big achievement,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Mr. Abucha cited that there will be South Sudan Geological Survey authority, which will absorb some graduates.<\/p>\n He hinted at the formation of the South Sudan Mining Company Corporation.<\/p>\n According to him, the authority will absorb geoscientist graduates.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the mining authority will be in charge of the inspectors, inspecting firms operating in the mining sector to abide by rules and regulations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By William Madouk South Sudan government plans a comprehensive mineral mapping to assess the nation’s natural wealth and pinpoint resource locations.
