| description |
Burundi has a wide range of mineral
deposits of which tin, tantalum and tungsten ores, along
with gold, are its primary mineral exports. Burundi’s
geological endowment also includes nickel, rare earths,
vanadium, and construction materials. The majority of
mineral extraction is carried out by artisanal and
small-scale mining (ASM) which is officially structured
through cooperatives. Tin, tantalum, tungsten (from the
minerals cassiterite, tantalite and wolframite and often
referred to as the ‘3Ts’) and gold are the primary minerals
mined and exported. Improvements in the gold sector are
where the Burundian Government stands to make the greatest
gains though this is complex to achieve and needs a very
practical strategy which is grounded in market and trade
realities. Taxation is one element of this but should not be
considered in isolation. Engagement with the existing market
and finding incentives for formalization is essential. The
Government of Burundi should showcase its efforts to improve
transparency and traceability. The next step will be to use
EITI and iTSCi standards to help to meet the basic needs of
artisanal mining communities and to contribute to
formalization. This will promote positive perceptions and
acceptance of both systems to the benefit of Burundi’s
mineral sector and national revenues. |
