João Afonso Fialho, Guilherme Daniel and Helna Vitoldás sign the chapter on Mozambique in the “Mining 2024” guide, published by Chambers and Partners as part of the Chambers Global Practice Guides segment.
In this publication, VdA's lawyers analyse Mozambican legislation and regulations applied to the granting of mineral rights, taxation and investment of the mining sector. Legislation on climate change and sustainable development initiatives within this industry is also analysed.
In an introductory note, the lawyers describe the legal framework for mining activities in Mozambique, which, they explain, is established through the "Mining Law (Law 20/2014, of 18 August 2014, as amended), which establishes the general principles governing the award and exercise of mineral rights, and the Mining Law Regulations (Decree 31/2015, of 31 December 2015, as amended), which establish the rules for prospecting and exploration operations, development, processing and mining, as well as geological mapping, geological mining, and metallurgical and scientific studies”.
