Mineral Resources in Al Qadarif: Boosting the State’s Treasury with Mining Revenues 

 The Sudanese Company for Mineral Resources in Al Qadarif State revealed its efforts in establishing traditional mining by setting up 4 traditional mining markets in Al Butana locality and two markets in Qalat Al Nahal locality. The company’s director in Al Qadarif, Omar Malik Awad al-Karim Abu Sin, stated that the company has protective arms and regulatory and assisting devices in mineral economics to enhance all means of protection for miners. He mentioned that there are 8 active companies in the state, in addition to concession companies that have squares and will enter the production phase in the upcoming period, and others in exploration in addition to Karti processing companies. He noted that in 2023 many companies stopped, but this year stability was observed in Al Butana and Qalat Al Nahal localities thanks to the support committees and state security committees and the governor, the patron of traditional mining in the state. He said that Al Qadarif is a border state and traditional mining faces many security-related issues, but the company, with its capabilities, imposes the security process at all sites where miners are located in cooperation with the state security committee and the existing security round in those areas, providing all possible facilities from fuel and mercury to production inputs.
