Abstract

Abstract

Mozambique, located in the southeast of Africa, is a vital country to strengthen the "One Belt And One Road" mining production capacity cooperation.Based on the study of the distribution of mineral resources and development status of important mines in Mozambique, the prospect of Chinese enterprises' mining investment in Mozambique is analyzed from the aspects of political stability and business environment.Mozambique's dominant oil and gas resources are mainly distributed in the Luvuma and Mozambique basins in the Sentoo-Rovuma-Zambezi-Maputo metallogenic belt, coal mainly in the Sentoo-Zambezi metallogenic belt, titanium-zirconium in the coastal area of the Sentoo-Rovuma-Zambezi-Maputo metallogenic belt, gold mainly in Niassa-Angónia- Zimbabwe metallogenic belt and Zimbabwe-Sentoo-Baruhe metallogenic belt, graphite in the Ancuabe and other areas of the Mozambique metallogenic belt, and tantalum and niobium in the Alto Ligonha area in the southern part of the Mozambique metallogenic belt.Mozambique is rich in mineral resources, especially oil, natural gas, coal, tantalum-niobium and heavy sand ore (titanium-zirconium) occupy an important position in the world.Although there are some unfavorable factors, such as backward infrastructure, lack of basic geological data and lengthy judicial procedures, it is believed that investors can start with heavy sand ore (titanium zirconium) and gold deposits with abundant resources and a good development basis; then targeting opportunities to invest in the development of petroleum, graphite, niobium tantalum and other minerals with greater potential; and at the same time, strengthen the international production capacity cooperation with local enterprises in Mozambique, promote local social and economic development, and jointly create a green and low-carbon development model.
