The Cameroon Commission of Mining and Industrial Affairs (CAMI) has issued a reminder to holders of mining rights and exploitation quarries regarding their responsibility to demarcate perimeters within two months of receiving titles. This directive aims to ensure transparent and effective management of the country’s mineral resources, prioritizing operational safety and environmental protection.
The demarcation of perimeters plays a vital role in mining resource exploitation by clearly outlining zones of operation and averting land disputes. Compliance with this requirement by mining rights holders contributes to the responsible governance of the mining sector and safeguarding of natural resources in Cameroon.
CAMI’s initiative underscores the accountability of mining sector stakeholders to both the community and the environment. By demarcating perimeters, adverse impacts of mining activities on the environment are minimized, ensuring the safety of communities residing near mining sites.
Moreover, demarcating perimeters enhances transparency and traceability in mining operations, essential in combating fraudulent practices and illegal activities within the sector.
In conclusion, CAMI’s directive for prompt demarcation of perimeters post-title issuance is pivotal for sustainable and responsible management of Cameroon’s mining resources. This approach reflects a commitment to promoting environmentally and socially conscious mining practices that benefit all stakeholders.
Implementing these measures will enhance the competitiveness of Cameroon’s mining sector globally, fostering sustainable and inclusive development for future generations.
