President Yoweri Museveni’s government,has been seeking to ramp up investment in mining to develop resources like copper, iron ore, gold, cobalt and phosphates.

The company will compulsorily acquire a 15% stake in every mining operation and investors will be required to sign a production-sharing agreement with the government
