Mining has always been an important sector locally and internationally. It is also considered as one of the key drivers for economic growth and human development, given that it provides essential tools that fuel the national development, including the extraction of raw materials and the relevant manufacturing processes.
This sector is an attractive investment environment in its different activities, thus increasing the incomes and exports and providing new job opportunities, as well as localizing the techniques and knowledge on the activities of exploration, excavation and production. Mining activities should be utilized optimally, through making use of the existing projects and creating new ones that contribute to developing the sector. The projects and initiatives supported by ISFU are related to the industrial minerals, metals, non-metals, and the sector’s regulations and enablers.
