Ethiopia, a country rich with geological treasures, is increasingly exploring its mineral resources to boost its economy. In particular, it is actively developing its gold mining industry in order to contribute to foreign exchange earnings.
Ethiopia is committed to maximizing the benefits from its abundant mineral resources, Ethiopian President Taye Atske Selassie stated at the opening of the 3rd International Mining and Technology Expo (MINTEX 2024).
The Ethiopian president cited the country's significant mineral potential and the government's efforts – a new mining policy and macroeconomic reforms – to exploit this potential for national development.
Taking place November 23-26 in Addis Ababa, MINTEX 2024 hosts domestic and international mining companies, investors, financial institutions, scholars, and diplomats.
