Sudan has a long history and a big heritage of Mining culture which go back to three thousand years when Nubians extracted gold and base metals and smelted iron to make water wells.


The mineral sector’s

influence on Sudan’s

economy was

significant because of

petroleum production

and refining. In recent

years, cement and gold

production became

more significant to the

Sudanese economy. In

2016, Sudan played a

significant role in the

global production of

gold, accounting for

nearly 4% of the

world’s gold mine

output. London Dec 12-2017 15
