Egypt approves first gold mining licence in more than a decade
CAIRO – Egypt has approved a mining licence for Aton Resources Inc, the Canada-based gold miner said on Thursday, the first such award since the country's main gold producer Centamin secured a licence more than a decade ago.
Centamin received its mining licence in 2005, according to its website.
Egypt passed a new mining law last year in a push to encourage more exploration and mineral production.
