Rwanda: High Quality Gold Spotted in Gicumbi

Rwanda has for decades been portrayed as a tiny resource-poor country, despite lying in the Great Rift Valley well-known for its abundant mineral wealth.

News that there is gold in the Western and Northern provinces is well-known, but the quality and quantity is what played on as a mystery for a long time.

In September, the quality question was ticked off when Rogi Mining, the country's largest gold explorer, assessed the gold in Gicumbi, Northern Province to be of high quality.

When its quantity is also verified as large in the near future, Rwanda's mineral sector, which is largely made up of cassetirite, wolfram and coltan, will be largely boosted by the this precious metal.

Also importantly, the government is also seeking to increase production of other minerals including tantalite, tungsten, niobium and lithium.
