Welcome to MINMITD
Starting with a presidential decree in 2012, we have since push the nation of Cameroon to higher heights.
Pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 2012/432 of 1 October 2012, the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Technological Development is headed by a Minister.
The Ministry of Mines, Industry and Technological Development is in charge of the elaboration and implementation of the Government’s mining and industrial policy and technological development strategies within the various sectors of the national economy
Uncovering Great Gems
Cameroon has significant mineral resources largely under exploited. The contribution of the mining sector (excluding oil) in the GDP is still marginal (less than 1%).
In its (2035) long-term vision, Cameroon intends to join the ranks of emerging countries with a strong industrial and mining sector.
To accelerate industrialization, the country intends in its Growth and Employment Strategy (GESP), to intensify the exploration, exploitation and processing of mineral resources, attracting investors in these activities with high capital and technological intensity.
The exploitation of known future world class deposits will significantly boost this sector.
