The Japanenese government announced last week that Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Cooperation (JOGMEC) plans to work with the government to accurately map out areas which have mineral resources but not yet identified. Its not clear whether this will be funded by Japan, but it is certainly a welcome development. Atleast it might help avoid this. We'll return to the issue of exploration in our current "mining reflections".
the jointventure between zccm-ih and JOGMEC has been created for this objective.
