The government of Ethiopia says it has found 18 gold, gemstone and industrial mineral-rich areas across the country during the current fiscal year started July 8,2018.
Partly impacted by the revocation of MIDROC Gold license of Etho-Saudi billionaire Al Amoudi, Ethiopia has missed 95% of its mining export target for the first six months of the current fiscal year started July 8, 2018.
Ethiopia earned export revenue of $1.21 billion in six months of the current Ethiopian fiscal year (July, 8, 2018 to January 7, 2019).
