Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:
Mining’s who’s-who leave AMCU out to dry as accord is signed
Replace site-by-site mine rehab with regional regeneration – CSIR
Namibia offering 39 earn-in exploration licences

The who’s who of the South African mining sector went ahead and signed the framework agreement for sustainable mining last week, without waiting any longer for the stalling Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, and in so doing provided a potentially formidable bulwark against any errant behaviour during the upcoming wage talks, which begin this week.

Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe

Holistic regional economic hub building needs to replace the current site-by-site approach to mine rehabilitation and far more productive post-mining landscaping needs to be implemented, says the new Council for Scientific and Industrial Research natural resources and the environment executive director May Hermanus.

The Namibian government is offering earn-in exploration licences to joint venture partners in strategic minerals including copper, iron-ore, gold, diamonds, marine phosphates and uranium.
