| Mining regime: | The mining industry has been affected by the deteriorating hyper-inflationary economic conditions but Mwana considers that the opportunities offered by the nickel and gold properties justify additional investment to extend the operating life and expand production capacity. Mwana is reasonably well positioned should the government proceed with their intention to legislate conditions for local ownership of mines. |
