Economic recession has negatively affected TNMC

Speaking at the TNMC year-end party on Friday, Keitshokile reiterated that although mining contributed significantly to the country’s economy, it had been seriously affected when global demand for minerals dwindled, and prices reached bottom limits, between 2008 and 2013.

“However, since the second quarter of 2014, the prices of our metals have been relatively steadier than in the previous years albeit lower than the desired for business sustainability,” he said.
