Harnessing Zamfara’s Mineral Wealth with Environmental Responsibility

Home/News/Harnessing Zamfara’s Mineral Wealth with Environmental Responsibility

Zamfara is home to valuable mineral resources such as gold, lead, and zinc. However, the unchecked exploitation of these resources has raised serious environmental and health concerns. That’s why the Ministry is implementing strict environmental regulations and safety protocols for mining activities.

Our priority is to balance economic growth with environmental stewardship. Through environmental impact assessments (EIAs), enforcement of best practices, and support for formalized, responsible mining, we aim to ensure that Zamfara’s natural wealth benefits its people without compromising their well-being.

Sustainable mining is not just a policy—it’s a commitment to a safer, healthier, and more prosperous Zamfara.
