by the Government.
PLANAGEO
The National Geology Plan (Planageo) approved by
Resolution Nº 85/09 of September 24, 2009, which
establishes the reparation of shortcomings of
Angola’s geological and mining information
PLANAGEO is a project whose objective is
to:
1. Increase knowledge of the country’s geological
and mining potential
2. Support Angola’s growth, identifying sources of
resources needed to develop the economy
3. Develop the diversification of the national
economy, currently concentrated on the production
of oil/gas and diamonds

957,390,886.48 USD, at an average price of 120,828 USD.
DIAMONDS
MINING
Some results
that involve
Angola’s
mining sector
ORNAMENTAL STONE SUBSECTOR - Ornamental stones (which include marble,
granite and similar stones), overall production reached 32,857.03 m3 (to be
reconciled, because quarries are located in areas without communications -
telephone and internet) and exports, 25,003.07 m3. Sales (on the local market
and exports) amounted to 9,148,117.15 USD.
QUARTZ SUBSECTOR - The export of large-volume samples (3,536 tonnes
marketed), generated a total gross revenue of 85,020,000 Akz. (805,002 USD).
The installed capacity of mines surpasses 70,000 tonnes/year, with existing
stockpiles of quartz estimated at 45,000.
MINERALS FOR CONSTRUCTION (INERTS) SUBSECTOR – This includes Sand,
Burgau, Gravel, Clay and Limestone, reached a total production 4,699,028.28 m3.
OTHER
MINERALS
SMALL-SCALE – Small-scale production counted on six accredited operators
for the purchase of raw diamonds, with 678,884.15 carats having been
marketed, worth 206,473,890.33 USD, at an average price of 304.137 USD/
carat.

20. 6. Partnerships
20PRESENTATION
PARTNERSHIPS
The Republic of Angola subscribes, within the scope of mining, to the following vision:
IN RELATION TO AFRICAN COUNTRIES - exchanges of synergies, sharing of investments, knowledge and
technologies, cooperation and involvement in regional and continental initiatives. Mutual assistance in
improving knowledge of mineral resources on the continent with geological-mining research programs
on every scale, in the diversification of geological-mining activity, in the establishment of better
regulations that reinforce values of transparency in processes and legal security, in a greater conjoining
of financing which is applied to the entire mining sector chain (from exploration to beneficiation) and in
sustainability and social responsibility.
IN RELATION TO AMERICA, EUROPE, ASIA AND OCEANIA - change in thinking on Africa, in its
fundamental pillars of Independence, Sovereignty, Trust and Respect; Independence - on the continent,
natural resources belong to the African countries and their citizens, under the same conditions in which,
in Europe, natural resources are also for their states and citizens; Sovereignty - African countries have
the same right to decide freely, and without external conditions, on the mining of their resources; Trust
- Western countries have - above all - to give the benefit of the doubt to African leaders; Respect - for
the cultural and spiritual references, and even the behavioral ones, of Africans.
