The Ministry of Mines and Petroleum (MoMP) is the first port of call for all

investors interested in Ethiopia’s mining or petroleum sectors.

The MoMP can direct you to the most up-to-date geodata available, guide you to the
right legislation and regulations for your business, and help you apply for any
licenses required.

The MoMP also provides straightforward guidance on how to go about investing in

Ethiopia’s abundant natural resources.
These include petroleum, gold, gemstones, tantalum, potash, iron ore, and
various industrial, energy and construction minerals. This extraordinary
potential coupled with improving government policies and regulations means
Ethiopia is now a priority destination for international mining and petroleum
investors.
