Egypt reforms to boost mining investment

Egypt has focused on implementing fundamental reforms to enhance the investment climate in the mining sector within less than two years. These reforms included updating the legislative framework, developing the Mineral Resources Authority, and adopting a mining exploitation model based on royalties and taxes. Additionally, Egypt launched the Open Sectors System, which allows approval of mining opportunities throughout the year. The country also introduced an integrated digital platform that provides investors with data and an electronic environment to facilitate licensing and exploration processes, along with incentives such as reduced rent fees and easing restrictions on the areas available for gold and other mineral exploration. Egypt has successfully attracted significant mineral investments; for instance, the Sukari Mine produced approximately half a million ounces of gold in 2025, demonstrating its substantial mining capabilities. There are promising opportunities for discovering rare minerals and platinum. Moreover, Egypt is working to strengthen cooperation with Australia to transfer technology and expertise. Companies and interested parties are invited to visit Egypt and participate in the mining forum scheduled for September 28 to explore the sector’s investment opportunities.
