Welcome to Ethiopia, the land of infinite possibilities for metal mining. With huge reserves of precious mineral, precious metallic minerals such as gold and copper or precious stone such as ruby, emerald and sapphire and other valuable minerals, including industrial mineral directly or indirectly used as industrial input such as coal, limestone, gypsum, clay and graphite.
Despite a long mining history spanning more than a millennium, commercial and large-scale mining is still in its infancy in Ethiopia.
Ethiopia's untapped, diverse and vast mineral resources present enormous possibilities for exploration and development. This potential, combined with improvements in government policies and regulations, has encouraged local and foreign companies to become involved in the mining industry.
Several types of mining licenses are issued by the Ethiopian Ministry of Mines, as well as regional governments, including reconnaissance, exploration, retention, and artesian mining licenses.
Ican Mine Metals Ltd., a federally incorporated Canadian company, has a diverse interest in reconnaissance and exploring precious metal resources in Tigray region of Ethiopia. In order to obtain a license, we are in the process of working with the Federal Ministry of Mines of Ethiopia and the Mining Offices of the Regional States of Tigray.
We are committed to finding and extracting valuable minerals in a way that benefits our communities as a whole. We work closely with local leaders and communities to ensure that our operations are in line with their values and needs. Our objective is to create long-term value for all our stakeholders, including our employees, investors, communities and partners.
By working together, we believe we can create a better tomorrow for Tigray and for Ethiopia in general. Take a look at our website to learn more about our activities. We invite you to take this opportunity and get in touch with us.
