Mining License Compliance in East Africa

Mining license holders in East Africa frequently fail to comply with regulations, often more than 95% of the time, due to their lack of skilled personnel, instead hiring unqualified third parties to prepare reports, which are often inaccurate and do not adhere to international standards. The primary reason for this is the license holder’s lack of executive education, which is essential for understanding their primary responsibility of achieving the organization’s objectives by utilizing adequate organization and personnel. A professional executive is expected to oversee overall operations and strategic decision-making, while other essential professionals, such as accountants, secretaries, mining engineers, geologists, and skilled gold prospectors, are required to manage various aspects of the mining operation.

Why didn’t the license holder hire the right people for the job in the first place, given that they had sufficient funds to acquire the license? It’s likely that they also had enough budget to pay skilled professionals to prepare accurate reports.

The reason for this is that the license holder lacks executive education. A professional executive is expected to understand their primary responsibility, which is to continuously achieve the organization’s or department’s objectives by utilizing adequate organization and personnel.

The primary professionals required for a mining license holder in East Africa include:

Skilled executive: oversees overall operations and strategic decision-making.
Accountant: manages financial transactions, records, and reports.
Secretary: handles administrative tasks, communication, and documentation.
Mining engineer: plans, designs, and supervises mining operations.
Skilled professional geologist (not just a geologist): conducts surveys and studies to identify and analyze mineral deposits.
Skilled gold prospectors (miners): A gold prospector is an individual who searches for and extracts gold from the earth, often working in remote locations and using specialized equipment and techniques to locate and mine gold deposits.

To prepare geological reports that meet international standards, verify actual expenses of operation, and prove the existence of gold deposits conclusively, a mining license holder in East Africa should take the following steps:

Hire Skilled Personnel: The license holder should invest in hiring experienced and qualified professionals, including a skilled executive, accountant, secretary, mining engineer, geologist, and skilled gold prospectors (miners). This team should be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the mining operation.
Establish a Professional Team Structure: A clear organizational structure should be established, with each professional having a well-defined role and responsibilities. This will ensure that all aspects of the mining operation are covered, and that each team member is accountable for their work.
Develop a Comprehensive Geological Reporting Process: The geologist, with the assistance of skilled gold prospectors, should conduct thorough surveys and studies to identify and analyze mineral deposits. This should involve collecting and analyzing data, conducting fieldwork, and using specialized equipment and techniques to locate and evaluate gold deposits.
Conduct Regular Audits and Expense Verification: The accountant should be responsible for managing financial transactions, records, and reports. Regular audits should be conducted to verify the accuracy of expenses, ensure compliance with regulations, and identify areas for cost savings.
Prepare Accurate and Standardized Reports: The skilled executive, with the assistance of the geologist and accountant, should oversee the preparation of geological reports that meet international standards. These reports should be comprehensive, accurate, and transparent, and should include all relevant data and analysis.
Validate the Existence of Gold Deposits: Before raising funds for financing, the team should conduct thorough validation of the gold deposits, including sampling, testing, and analysis. This will provide conclusive evidence of the existence and quality of the gold deposits.
Raise Funds for Financing: Once the team has prepared accurate and standardized reports, verified the actual expenses of operation, and validated the existence of gold deposits, they can raise funds for financing. This should be done through reputable and licensed financial institutions, and should be based on a comprehensive business plan and budget.

By following these steps, a mining license holder in East Africa can ensure that they are complying with regulations, preparing accurate and standardized reports, and raising funds for financing in a responsible and transparent manner. This will help to mitigate the risks associated with hiring unqualified or unlicensed third parties, and will provide a solid foundation for a successful and sustainable mining operation.
