Inspection Campaign to Ensure Environmental Compliance in Mining Companies in the Red Sea State

The Sudanese Mineral Resources Company has emphasized the importance of strict adherence to environmental and safety regulations by mining companies, including concession companies and those processing mining waste.

The company dispatched a technical team from the General Administration for Environment and Safety to inspect and evaluate mining companies operating in the Red Sea State. The team conducted on-site assessments to ensure compliance with environmental and safety requirements.

Team leader Badawi Ismail Osman stated that the inspection targeted 15 companies engaged in mining. The technical team reviewed the operations of these companies, including activities in factories, processing ponds and waste areas, mines, chemical storage facilities, workshops, worker accommodations, and the use of chemicals and explosives. They also examined extraction units, smelting rooms, and the environmental, safety, and occupational health records and systems in place, while monitoring production processes.

Osman confirmed that the campaign aimed to update the database maintained by the General Administration for Environment and Safety at the Sudanese Mineral Resources Company.
