In an effort to rejuvenate foreign investment and attract more investors to Sudan, the Ministry of Minerals recently announced that it has allowed Qatari mining companies to resume operations, and preparations to restart mining are underway.

In April 2023, the outbreak of the civil war in Sudan had forced Qatar Mining to halt its operations.

For years, the mining sector has served as a primary economic pillar for the national treasury, making this partnership vital for promoting Sudan's national interests.

While there are several projects and investments associated with this deal, a major highlight of the renewed partnership is a copper project valued at approximately $800 million.

Qatari mining companies have been active in Sudan since 2012. Returning to the market with a fresh outlook, these companies have promised to deliver impressive results as they finalize plans to restart operations shortly.
