Mines and Minerals (Amendment Act, 1999)

The Mines and Minerals (Amendment) Act, 1999 amends the principal Mines and Minerals law of Sierra Leone, which governs the ownership and control of minerals and the grant of mineral rights for prospecting and mining.

As an amending statute it alters specified provisions of the principal Mines and Minerals Act — for example concerning mineral rights, licensing or royalties — and must be read together with the principal mining legislation. (The sector was later comprehensively reformed by the Mines and Minerals Act, 2009.)
