STOP: Henk Mudge, president of the Republican Party of Namibia, has made an impassioned plea to all Namibians and to the governments of Botswana and South Africa to intervene to ensure that in-situ leach (ISL) mining for Uranium in the area of the transnational Stampriet Aquifer is not allowed to continue. He insists that the mining method will contaminate the essential water source shared by southern Namibia, western Botswana, and the Northern Cape region of South Africa. Video Augetto Graig

BURKINA FASO NATIONALISES FIVE MINING ASSETS On 27 August 2024, Burkina Faso announced that it would nationalise two gold mines, Boungou and Wahgnion, following a legal dispute between London-listed Endeavour Mining and a local company, Lilium Mining. On 11 June 2025, the government declared that the nationalisation process was complete. The state-owned Burkina Faso Mining Participation Company (SOPAMIB) officially owns and controls the two mines as well as three mining licenses previously held by Endeavour and Lilium Mining. Burkina Faso President Ibrahim Traoré has expressed interest in revoking more foreign mining permits and granting the state greater control over the mining sector. Burkina Faso is a member of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), a Pan-African anti-imperialist confederation that was established on 6 July 2024 and includes neighbouring Mali and Niger. All three countries have revised their mining codes. Mali is involved in an ongoing legal battle against Canadian-based company Barrick Gold, and its assertion of resource sovereignty led to the resignation of Terry Holohan, CEO of Australian company Resolute Mining. In 2024, Niger nationalised two major mines, Imouraren and Somaïr, formerly owned by French public company Orano.

There is widespread misinformation being spread about the Aravalli mining order, so let’s put the verified facts on record. A clarification has been issued by the Press Information Bureau, based directly on the judgment of the Supreme Court of India. First, this Supreme Court order was not passed to destroy the Aravallis, but to protect them. For years, multiple cases of illegal and unregulated mining were coming to the Court because different States were using different definitions of what counts as an Aravalli hill or range. Now the most important fact. The so-called 100-metre rule is not new. It was decided by a Rajasthan State Committee in 2002 and implemented in 2006. Under this rule, any landform rising 100 metres or more above surrounding land is treated as a hill, and mining is banned not just on the hilltop but also on its slopes, treating the entire hill as one ecological unit. The expert committee appointed by the Supreme Court found that Rajasthan was the only State with a clear, legally notified and scientific definition. Because of this, Gujarat, Haryana and the Delhi region agreed to adopt the same rule, along with stronger safeguards, so that one uniform standard applies across the entire Aravalli belt. Another major misinformation is that mining is now allowed below 100 metres. This is false. Many areas below 100 metres are still part of protected hills, connected ranges, wildlife corridors and eco-sensitive zones, where mining remains prohibited. For the first time, entire Aravalli ranges, meaning groups of nearby hills and the land between them, are being treated as one protected ecological system, so slopes and foothills cannot be mined separately. Finally, the Supreme Court has imposed a temporary stay on all new mining leases in the Aravalli region until a comprehensive Sustainable Mining Management Plan is prepared. Existing mines can continue only under strict environmental compliance. In short, the rule was old, the protection has been strengthened, and fresh mining has been paused, not expanded.

Decoding Aravallis' Controversy: Aravallis will not die because of the Supreme Court, they are already dying because of illegal mining. B/w 1975 and 2019, 8% of the Aravalli hills vanished due to illegal mining, and studies warn this could rise to 22% by 2059. 1/4th of Rajasthan’s Aravalli hills have already disappeared. These are documented facts. Not just that, Illegal mining has also taken human lives. In July 2022, DSP Surender Singh was killed on duty when a truck crushed him while he was investigating illegal stone mining in Nuh. This is the real cost of unregulated, mafia-driven mining! SC's latest order has not deregulated mining. It has frozen new leases, ordered scientific mapping, and tightened control to stop illegal mining. So, it's very important to understand the judgment, to protect the Aravallis. And always read a thing in entirety before you panic!

Good luck trying to get more of Australia’s uranium Narendra Modi. Last time India requested Australia’s uranium, Albanese opposed then PM Gillard and spoke against exporting. In 2007, he said on a uranium mining motion “the light on the hill is not the glow of radiation from a nuclear waste dump”. And in the recent nuclear fear campaign he posted that scenic Aussie locations were “under threat” from nuclear power plants. Hopefully our Prime Minister wakes up to the fact Australia is one of the only advanced economies not investing in nuclear soon…

INSIDE OYO NATIONAL PARK: HOW ILLEGAL MINING HAS TURNED A PROTECTED FOREST INTO A LAWLESS COMMUNITY. As some of you might recall, i did a light report about illegal mining carried out in Old Oyo National Park which is linked to Kwara State as well in 2023. After the report which, I remembered reaching out to Ministry of Mining, a taskforce was established to curtail the activities of the miners, it worked effectively especially at the Oyo state side but it wasn't working effectively in Kwara state. After the killings of 5 National Park personnel by bandits last week, which I broke the news, I carried out an investigation to see the level of compliance at the Old Oyo National Park where lithium mining activity is going, then i discovered the said mining has become a full blown community. The current number of illegal miners operating at Old Oyo National Park is estimated to be between 200,000 and 400,000, including individuals involved in buying and selling activities at the site. According to my research , there is nothing sold outside the illegal mining site that is not also sold within the site. Items sold include foodstuffs, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, and various forms of hard drugs. There is also the presence of sex workers who render their services to illegal miners inside grass huts constructed within the area. Additionally, medical drugs and medical items such as needles, injections, and intravenous fluids are openly sold at the site. Explosives are also sold to illegal miners and are used for blasting lithium during excavation. There are thousands of blacksmiths on site who fabricate various tools used for illegal mining activities, including shovels, diggers, chisels, and hammers. There is a high rate of child labour at the illegal mining site, also known as Daba. These children are used mainly for sorting lithium from rocks. The illegal mining site is divided into two sections: the Yoruba illegal mining section and the Hausa/Fulani illegal mining section. Both sections are located within Old Oyo National Park. The road leading to the illegal mining site (Daba) is not motorable. Access to the site is only possible by motorcycle. All extracted lithium is transported by motorcycles to Bonni, Igbeti, or Soro in Kishi. This indicates that illegal miners access the mining site through Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni. As at the time of writing this report, many empty trucks are observed entering through Igbeti, Oyo State, heading directly to Bonni, and passing through Bonni to Jeba Oloru, Kwara State, from where the lithium is transported to destinations of their choice. They operate within the confines of laws established by the illegal miners’ chairman, popularly known as “CD.” Anyone who commits the crime of stealing is punished by death. The area is so enclosed that outsiders can be fished out by them. A bike man who carries lithium from the forest to the truck earns ₦12,000 per bag. One bag of lithium weighs 100kg, and they carry two bags, making 200kg. The miners are so familiar with the area that they can easily move to Igbeti, Kishi, and Bonni in Kwara State from the forest while evading security forces without being noticed, because many of them have been living in the forest for more than three years without seeing the outside world. It is imperative that both the Kwara State Government, Oyo State Government, and the Federal Government get hold of this before it becomes a security problem for the whole country. Illegal mining in Old Oyo National Park is progressing, not regressing.

Western Mining Companies In DRC Kick Against Government's Deadline To Give More Value To Congolese People On January 30, 2026, the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) issued a 6-month deadline to all mining companies operating in the country to fully comply with its Mining Code. This code mandates that these companies set aside a little more of their equity for the Congolese people whose resources they are raking in billions of dollars annually extracting. Yet for these exclusively Western companies, this policy is apparently asking too much. And given the West’s history with Africa, this should come as no surprise.

Yesterday I rode down to the Umzingwane river from The City of Bulawayo. In the course of the ride I was able to inspect the state of some of the Umzingwane’s tributaries and the river itself. The good news, as shown by the attached video and pictures, is that the Umzingwane itself has been in flood and is still flowing strongly. The bad news is that I witnessed illegal gold mining in virtually every tributary, and very few tributaries were actually flowing. In all the pools in tributaries the water is exceptionally muddy, a sign of massive erosion upstream. The attached photos show tributaries not flowing and some of these discolored pools. After so much rain these tributaries should still have been flowing but they weren’t. To explain the significance of this I need to emphasize that the catchment has had at least 600mm of rain this season so far and last week alone had over 100 mms of rain - and yet the bulk of the tributaries weren’t flowing yesterday. Despite all the rain we have had Umzingwane as at the 21st January is only at 30,1 % full. In contrast Mshabezi dam is 100% full and yet its catchment area is very close to Umzingwane’s. The difference is that whereas Mshabezi’s catchment is mainly in the north eastern Matopos and has hardly any gold mining, Umzingwane’s catchment has been utterly devastated by illegal mining. Towards the end of 2024 Government banned alluvial mining in river courses. Yesterday I saw numerous miners hard at it. As stated above nearly every tributary of the Umzingwane has evidence of mining taking place. There are large camps of illegal miners. Despite this I didn’t see a single EMA or ZRP patrol. These miners are continuing their illegal work with impunity. The consequences for our City are devastating. Government needs to bring this existential threat to an end immediately otherwise Bulawayo’s water crisis will continue, indeed worsen. We are fortunate this year to have had a good rains which have put some water in our dams. In a drought year there will be almost no inflow. So this illegal mining must be brought to an end immediately.

Between July 16 and 17, 2024, I had the honor of attending and participating in the Egypt Mining Fourm - Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources - Egypt, an event that highlighted the challenges and opportunities of this vital sector. The conference stood out for its focus on diversity and inclusivity, emphasizing the importance of drawing on successful and leading Arab experiences, particularly those led by #Saudi_Arabia over the past years. What caught my attention the most was the ongoing commitment to integrating innovation and the latest technology to enhance the effectiveness of this sector. The conference also highlighted aspects of #safety and #sustainability, which are fundamental elements for ensuring a better future for mining in the region. During the conference, I had the opportunity to participate in one of the technical sessions, where I presented a research paper on how to leverage modern technological capabilities to advance this promising sector. A conference like this fosters a spirit of innovation and opens new horizons for collaborative work among Arab countries in the #mining sector, benefiting our economies and communities.

Sand Mafia K.Annamalai has stolen 1000s of tons of sand from Noyyal river by sending a Hyundai and a Komatsu sand mining crawler equipment into Noyyal River. Sand mining was done up to a stretch of almost one kilometer and annamalai's land was filled with the sand excavated from the river bed in complete violation of both criminal and environmental laws. A complaint was made to police, Thasildhar, Collector District Collector, Coimbatore and SP by one Mr. Babu but of no avail. Not even CSR was issued by the police despite agreeing that it amounted to public property theft. As a result of it, Muttathu Ayyanar Temple on the banks of Noyyal River is expected to be inundated. Local protests by commoners were ignored by annamalai who has been promising to meet them but despite one month of stopping of the act by locals, he has avoided visiting them. It is criminal act by of sand theft by K.Annamalai. It is also a huge environmental violation and a case is being filed in appropriate forum for environmental violation. The reason for praising TVK Vijay in New Jersey, America was to ensure no action is taken against him for such huge environmental violation. The act of sand mining was carried out without any permissions and i am filing a case against district collector for dereliction of duty despite petitions in this regard by one Mr. Babu, a local BJP Tamilnadu activist. Request CMOTamilNadu to order an impartial probe into as to how the Thasidhar, VAO and others colluded with Annamalai and permitted such a huge violation to take place. SP/Collector must impound the 2 equipment in question and take criminal action against annamalai for sand theft and environmental violation. Shouldn't we call him #SandMafia_Annamalai?!

We’re working round the clock to knock the cover off the ball in our support for U.S. domestic mineral exploration… and to mine, baby mine! U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said during this Bloomberg interview: “There’s been an attack on American energy in this country, but even longer than that there’s been an attack on mining in our country … Just like President Trump says; ‘drill, baby drill’ we’ve got to get back to ‘mine, baby mine.’ The U.S. graduated 36,000 lawyers last year, and about 300 people with mining and metallurgical degrees.”

'NIGER USED TO BE A BANANA REPUBLIC' Niger's reality has changed drastically since President Abdourahamane Tiani came to power on 26 July 2023. In this video clip, he spoke about Niger going from being a neo-colonial ‘banana republic’ state to asserting its sovereignty and self-determination on the world stage. Tiani stated that European and US powers previously considered the country's uranium worth less than clay or red onions. Today, Niger's government has nationalised its uranium mines in Somair and Imouraren, kicking out the French-owned Orano mining company. Niger was previously the European Union's second-largest supplier of uranium. As soon as Niger's coup d'état threatened Western business interests, media outlets based in Europe and the United States rushed to denounce the military for ousting a Western-backed leader as undemocratic, chaotic, destabilising and doomed. Yet, even at the start of this new year, Nigeriens continue pouring out into the streets to express their support for the National Council for the Safeguard of the Homeland (CNSP), Niger's new government.

𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐎𝐬𝐮𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞’𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐥𝐚 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲 Today, at a tripartite meeting facilitated by the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Mr. Dele Alake, in Abuja, I am pleased to announce the resolution of our longstanding dispute with Segilola Mining Company. During the meeting—attended by the Minister and the management of Thor Explorations Company—we reached an amicable resolution on several key issues, including: ✅ Osun State’s shareholding in Segilola Mining Company ✅ Tax payments by the firm ✅ Environmental degradation concerns ✅ Disputed mining fields I commended the Minister’s prompt intervention and, indeed, President Tinubu’s administration for its ongoing reforms in the nation’s mining sector—a model that we are replicating to drive our own reforms in Osun State. I also expressed my appreciation to the Minister for facilitating this resolution, which has yielded positive results for our dear state. Furthermore, I reaffirmed Osun’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment that sustains existing investors and attracts new ones across all sectors. The meeting concluded with a formal resolution on the transfer of Osun State’s shareholding, along with agreements on the exchange of data related to tax claims, environmental impact, and mining field disputes. The highlight of the event was the official presentation of the Osun shareholding certificate by the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Mr. Dele Alake—a significant milestone for our administration and the people of Osun State.
