The gazetting of the high resolution geophysical data has seen an increase in the number of interested investors into the country.<\/p>\n
Department of Geological Survey Director Jalf Salima said the gazetting of the price schedule has boosted Malawi\u2019s attractiveness in terms of exploration and mining.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost companies are looking for data that they can use to identify exploration targets in a specific country. The airborne survey was a way of welcoming investors by the government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Salima said a lot of companies, both local and international, are coming forward to get the data.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are a lot of companies that have come forward. Currently I do not have the figure in my head but the response is very positive,\u201d said Salima.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe companies coming are those that are doing both exploration for mining licences and those that would like to identify areas of exploration,\u201d said Salima.<\/p>\n
He further said the data is not only for mining purposes but also for companies that are doing infrastructure development like construction of roads, bridges and dams.<\/p>\n
Salima also said those doing research are welcome to use the data.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis data is a very positive step towards the development of geosciences in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
