Trotman also revealed that the sector has been making positive developments in reducing instances of gold smuggling.However, he said those developments would be made public later this year.
In addition, the sector has been making strides in eliminating the use of mercury in gold mining.
“There is some resistance but, at the same time I would say that a majority of miners are willing to comply,” Trotman said.
The elimination of Mercury from mining is part of modernising the technologies used in the extractive sector. The government says it is working on an action plan aimed at minimising and eventually eliminating the use of mercury in mining.
