Ethiopia discovers gold deposits worth US$1.7 billion

APA-Addis Ababa (Ethiopia)

Ethiopia announced on Friday that it discovered two gold deposits in the country, estimated to be worth US$ 1.7 billion.

According to reports of the national Ethiopia Radio, the Ethiopian Ministry of Mines and Energy disclosed that over 40 tons of gold were found in two places in the western parts of the country.

The reports said the studies conducted by British and Saudi Arabian companies indicate that there is gold deposit in two areas of the Western region of Ethiopia.

“A study conducted by a British gold development company over the past five years shows that there is over 22 tons of gold deposit in western Ethiopia. Some US$ 200 million is required to develop the deposit in a period of 5-10 years,” the report said.

The Saudi Arabian company also reported to have discovered 18 tons gold deposit in Legendenbi area.

“Geological survey indicates that there is 30 tons gold deposit in Tulukapi area, (south). The country has an estimated 500 tons gold deposit,” added the report.

Currently, some 44 companies are exploring gold in the country which gets about US$ 105 million from gold export per annum.

It is the first time Ethiopia announces the discovery of such natural resources in the country.

A little distraction from Woyanne looking for money in Washington this days. 1.7 billion in 10 years and probably at best 50% of the stake for Ethiopia is not that significant money (remind you in Alamhodi mines he has 98% and Ethiopia 2% only). It is not significant money when you compare that to what Ethiopia receives yearly in aid (1.5 billion) and from remittances of Woyyane's archenemy namely Ethiopians in diaspora (2.5 billion). I have always wondered if the exported gold quantities and the money obtained by Woyyane is not slightly higher than the numbers they declare. We know they love gold.

- Two countries involved in the study
-The study took years
-The development gona take 5-10 yrs
-and the gold gona worth 1.7 billion
This project is bunkrupt from its inception. I do not wana say a lot but any body can do a cost benefit analysis for a discovery of GOLD with 100's of millions of dollars input to yield only 1.7 billion dollars of out put. This is a joke !

It is becoming hillarius by the day. Is it the same gold discovery we were told so many different times via Rueters, ENA Walta etc being recycled ever time? Or are they discovering Gold every freaken week? The weyanes must be salivating looking at Gold price going out of the roof in the world market. I remmember weyane claimed to have discovered 100000 tone Gold two or three years ago. The amount they claimed is more than the total Gold reserve that is believed to exist in the whole world looooooool. Weyane lie factory is never ending.

Okay, My personal message for the Ethiopian government is, be careful on the emotional distribution of Ethiopian land for foreign investors to overcome the power of our depressive enemy (the poverty, hunger, luck of medication and education)
Because there will be something hiding deep in the ground of those areas which may help the Ethiopia government to take the decisive measure against poverty ones and for last. Anyway, a good promise is always brings good feelings and healthy.
However, we will continue commenting on these issues, calculating how to use the money, planning what to do with the money to change the life of the Ethiopians, advising the government of Ethiopia with a positive view on development of the country, start working hard without delay also blessing the days of this good news came to public.
Anyway God Bless and thanks a lot for provaiding a good news

Please create job - not "Sedeka" for one day... but by creating those much needed jobs Ethiopian citizens will be able to at least eat one decent meal

"And when the broader economy declines and the value of the dollar fluctuates, people buy gold. At current prices — gold hit $892 an ounce on Monday ( January, 2009), its highest price in three months and not that far off its record high of more than $1,000 an ounce in March — places like Battle Mountain hum with good-paying jobs and rising home values, making the financial woes of the rest of the country a distant concern.

"Most everyone here is concerned that a national economic recovery could drive gold prices down again. A Barrick spokesman, Louis A. Schack, agreed that it was a danger, but he noted that in the decade since the last major slump, gold had become a staple as an electrical conductor in things like cellphones and most high-tech wiring, boosting its value considerably... Yet Mr. Schack acknowledged that commodity markets were unpredictable... -Yet Mr. Schack acknowledged that commodity markets were unpredictable - A Nevada Town (Battle Mountain) Escapes the Slump, Thanks to Gold - NYT

Our pricless gold, in which was handed by the almighty " THE ARK OF THE COVENENT" already had been stolen from GONDER land and kept at 'SIN CITY" cursed land called TIGRAY for decades, now we don't want the internationaly known LOOTERS to do the only thing they know for living,throw their hands into this GUNA-BUSINESS.

I ' wish Ethiopia will not find Oil or other valuable minerals at this time. What we have is not a government, its few people hijacking the country to loot its wealth. Why do you think there is war on Ogaden? Do you really think this people are fighting for independence? No, its all war for controlling that area potentially oil reach place. It will be easier to create a weak new and country with uneducated leaders to have a new deal for oil, that is all there is to it. If Meles and his gang leave power before they benefit from this oil or gold it will be only by war. No democracy or election will bring them down.

Private Ethiopian gold mining company discovers 70 tonnes of gold reserves - Feb 7
Written by Administrator
Thursday, 07 February 2008
LONDON – Goldessential – Feb 7 – 14.10GMT

Midroc Gold Mining, A private company owning Ethiopia's only operating gold mine said on Thursday it found 70,000 kg of potential gold reserves in the south. The company, which owns the Legedembi Gold Mine, plans to realise the extraction of 70,288 kg of gold within the coming 13 years from three major areas identified with potential reserves," Arega Yirdaw, general manager of the company, told local media. “The company is now engaged in exploration activities in three areas with identified gold potentials," he said.

The company acquired Legedembi Gold Mine - located in Ethiopia's gold belt 500 km south of Addis Ababa - from the government in 1997 with an acquisition price of $172 million.

Are you talking to barakat simon when you posted the following?
"to all the pesimists, get your eritrean a*ss out of ethiopian site, go mine your only resource amoleee salt instead of bi*tching on ethiopian site 24/7."
Why didn't you visit him at the menelik palace and tell him same while you were in Ethiopia?
How did you know that those "pessimists" you warn are all eritreans?
Does pessimisim have any thing to do with genetics...? If so, you're in great problem, since you are under their controll.
I have an advice for you. Don't HATE the pessimist. The pessimist won't rush to take action (if there's any), since he/she always expects the worst. So, the pessimist is not the first to behead you or tortue you as you do.
You said:
" ethiopia is indeed on the right truck to being middle income economy within the planned. for example,I haved been in the country for the last two months and problems such as power cut seems to be history, meaning industries will contnue to florish and we will even discover more of our resources"
This is very interesting. I would be very happy if you could tell me the name and address of the qallu who told you about it.

Somebody from the outer space scribbles the following: "...from now on all kinds of good news are going to follow, you will be crying day and night and you look at your best when you cry becuse that is what you are good at."
I guess this person is telling us we at the diaspora would be crying more than ever becasue ethiopia would be florishing and we are advised to ...You KNOW, my English is not at the standard level and couldn't get all the message. But I can tell this person not TO worry about us. That's natural in this world. It's good we are told beforehand to prepare our selves musho awraj. We pay good money for that profession should the same person apply for that.You know where we get that money? Your country's florishment enables us to save a lot. No remittances! Those meles kids would stop crying and panhandling around the world in the name of our compatriots.
This IDIOT FROM THE BACKWARD WORLD DIDN'T KNOW OR GET CHANCE TO SEE PEOPLE CRYING TOO WHEN THEIR MOST EXPECTED THING IN THEIR LIVES MATERIALISES. CRYING IS ALSO A MANIFESTATION OF GREAT HAPPINESS. NOT ONLY OF SADDNESS.
WE WOULD BE CRYING DAY AND NIGHT SHOULD WHAT OUR IDIOT TELLS US MATERIALISES.TESFAQURET LIQU!

What they called exploration was done during Haile Sellase time.Actually what they talk is the gold deposit in Wollega-and trying to loot before woyane go back to Tigray.
There is much deposit in Tigray but they want to reseve it for themselves and exploit others resources.

What comes is NIGER DELTA tpye of actions on looting companies.

Janhoy was 1/2 good compared to Menilik, and Menilik was half good compared to the predecessors.

My Janhoy comment is because it was not supposed to be called Dollar. It was supposed to be called "SILVER" in the back and "BIRR" in the front.

If you get back to history, American Dollar was called Silver Dollar, but today it has deminished to Dollar only. America made strong Birr for Ethiopia, but the English version was not right. We could be better off. I am free American with liberty to say this...I appreciate the late seventies and eighties graduates fro their love of reading Kebede's work...and at least exalt what was left for them by the fathers (Conservative Ethiopians 100%)... But their money stuff and dictatorship gene won't be easy unless they take a prescription "LIBERTY" with compliance. It is medicine.

Is it going to be deposited in National Bank of Abay Tigrai, lol?

Besides the 11th hour cheap propaganda of election campaign and Western photo op ad, who said Ethiopia was not endowed with gold, oil, gas, or fertile lands?

What did poor people of Ethiopia got from Adola werK previously, and what did poor people of Ethiopia got from the title "Bread Basket of Africa"? Famine!

The big question is, Has it ever served the poor people of all ethnic groups of Ethiopia?

Leadership, leadership, and leadership is the talk of the decade, not the amount of aids, the amount of gold, the amount of weapon, the amount of foreign diplomatic and financial support, or even the "sime Tirunet of Ethiopia, you loser dreamers who support WoyAne !

Learn from real life under three different corrupt leadership !

The topic is about Abay Tigrai's claim of 1.7 Million Gold deposits that you will never see, not about the reject BBC's hired mission of Eritrea's human rights.

Dedeb chiKa, learn about your human rights first hand, from Killing of University demonstrators to ethnic cleansing, to green famine collective punishment, to dismantling Ethiopia, in inferiority complex.

You can't even, after infusion of all kinds of development and food-aid, feed your poor, ante lemagn. Where else would there be human rights violations other than systematically creating human made famine that the Imperialist BBC tried to cover up many times?

Human rights your ass!

In replyy to Teddy's post you said, "...i love my country...". This phrase invited me to say few words.
What do you mean by that phrase? How do you define a country? What makes a country a country? How do you define the beauty of a country?
Would you inform us why you love your country?
You continued as follows:
"...your dissatisfaction about the current govt is your business,however stopping those who are trashing my country image is my bussiness."
A responsible citizen cares more than anything for the well being of compatriots.If a country doesn't protect its citizens from any man made and natural calamities what's it good for?
You remeber mengistus slogan? "enat hagger weim mot!!!!" He killed a generation in the name of protecting enat hagger.
Many told us what you're telling us.
If you're part of the gov, tell us that you care more than anything for your power_not for the country.
Let me tell you that I'm not in support of Teddy. But what I'm talking is the dissatisfaction of citizens or an individual citizen cannot be left to the groups or to the individuals, respectively. We should consider it as our business too and find a solution accordingly.
Don't forget that the meles kids who went to the bush and now in power and the dergu members who formed that junta are and were few individuals, respectively. You know the outcome of both groups.
You love your country. Love all, regardless of our brain sizes. We're wittnesing those with elephant brains' acomplishments.

The Geological Survey of Ethiopia knew about it for at least 2 decades. But there is a general bias in the country that tends to give undue credit to foreigners when Ethiopian scientists deserve it.

Please recognize the amount of native capability existing in the country. That is one of the main reasons why capable intellectuals leave the country, while the incompetent ones get promoted.

God help Ethiopia.

But personaly I call on Ethiopian govt for preimptive strike to free the political prisoners and even the whole eritreans by destroying the barbaric shabia killing dogs.

Dude something is seriously wrong with you. First of all when I say your grave, keep looting or whatever I said, I'm not talking about you as an individual but rather the same clump of banda weyane and its hodam clownish supporters where you found a crack and popped into, hence there follows the inevitability for you to be part of the despised and as such be treated accordingly, you choose to support them remember? So take the heat! Now the real q is "Do you practice Clairvoyance(ESP)?"

Yeah "deba rasun silet diksun" bla astemariye ande negragnalech gin don't worry about me buddy try to watch out for yourself. Regarding your last piece, did you see a single Ethiopian, or at least me, complain about Gibe? Road construction? ET (airlines progress)? and many other truly important issues? Did you? c'mon let's not forget that YOU are the weyane here, not us we are able to think, credit where it's due!

Everytime I see comments like yours, my appereciation to Meles and his party doubl es. People like you don't have anything to offer but just bark on every single improvement. Sometimes, it is entertaining to guess what you and your friends are going to comment at the end of articles like this;.

It is almost a given that your buddies are going to start by saying "woyane bezebezat hagerewan ..... when the article is about building roads to the Ethiopian ppl, or some other development. If you are all trying to play politics, one day you will get over it. But if you are really misled by the derg left over diaspora then I feel sorry for you. Because, it will take years to bring you to your senses.

it is wonderful to observe that majority of the comments do not try even to say any thing about the issue under consideration.the true Ethiopian should be concerned about the future gold reserve exploration and the possibility that the country can utilize its potential and facilitate its development activities with the foreign exchange earning that can be generated,the job opportunity to be created,the technology transfer to be undertaken.most of u are rushing to take the occasion to belittle the performance of the government which emanates out of your premature thinking.
finally be informed that Ethiopia doesnot exclusively belong to "neftegna'.it is rather a country of several ethnic groups.

On one hand Meles is crying for handouts and on the other hand he goes again with his economic boom bonanza. Which one is true?

Well when the famine is a man made by Meles for the well known reason that is to get money the other is the usual distraction intended to give false news hoping people will keep him in power.

Either way he is fighting for his own comfort and to keep the power seat.

Ethiopia will never come out of the place of starvation and misery long as he is there. The one and only solution for bouncing back is to get rid of him and replace him with a qualified and good hearted leader.
