加纳计划在2030年前禁止出口未加工矿产，因为作为非洲最大黄金生产国的加纳希望从其自然资源中获取更多价值并推动国内工业化，总统约翰·马哈马表示。
Ghana plans to ban exports of unprocessed minerals by 2030 as Africa’s biggest gold producer seeks to capture more value from its natural resources and spur domestic industrialization, President John Mahama said.
“我设定了一个明确的目标，即到2030年，原始矿产不应再离开我们的海岸，”马哈马在首都阿克拉举行的矿业会议上的演讲中说。“我们的铝土矿、锰、铁、锂及其他矿产必须支持本土的加工和工业发展。”政府将在立法、矿产特定要求和明确实施时间表的支持下，推进对未加工矿石出口的逐步禁令，马哈马说。
“I’ve set a clear goal that by 2030, raw minerals should no longer leave our shores,” Mahama said in a speech at a mining conference in the capital, Accra. “Our bauxite, manganese, iron, lithium and other minerals must support processing and industrial development here at home.”The government will pursue a phased ban on exports of unprocessed ores, backed by legislation, mineral-specific requirements and clear implementation timelines, Mahama said.
加纳已经禁止出口铁废料和有色金属，以及由手工和小规模矿工生产的原始黄金。
Ghana has already banned exports of iron scrap and non-ferrous metals, as well as raw gold produced by artisanal and small-scale miners.
这些措施是非洲各国政府更广泛推动的一部分，旨在在国内进行更多矿产加工，使其能够出口更高价值的产品，并在其作为关键供应商的市场中拥有更大影响力。几内亚正在考虑限制铝土矿运输，津巴布韦正在禁止锂精矿出口，而刚果民主共和国则对可离开该国的钴量实施了严格限制。几内亚、布基纳法索、马里和科特迪瓦要么已经建成了金炼厂，要么计划这么做。
The measures are part of a broader push by African governments to do more mineral processing domestically, allowing them to export higher value products and have more influence over markets into which they are key suppliers. Guinea is weighing restrictions on bauxite shipments and Zimbabwe is banning exports of lithium concentrate, while the Democratic Republic of Congo has imposed strict limits on volumes of cobalt which can leave the country. Guinea, Burkina Faso, Mali and Ivory Coast have either built gold refineries or plan to do so.
“投资者必须理解获取我们资源所伴随的加工义务，”马哈马说，要求这些要求应体现在矿产协议以及非洲国家发展的价值链中。
“Investors must understand the processing obligations associated with access to our resources,” Mahama said, demanding that those requirements should be reflected in mineral agreements and in the value chains African nations develop.
加纳是世界上最大的黄金生产国之一，拥有盎格鲁-黄金阿尚蒂公司（AngloGold Ashanti Plc）、紫金矿业集团股份有限公司（Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd.）和金域有限公司（Gold Fields Ltd.）等国际公司的业务，这些公司以半精炼形式出口贵金属。
Ghana is one of the world’s largest gold producers, hosting operations owned by international companies including AngloGold Ashanti Plc, Zijin Mining Group Co. Ltd. and Gold Fields Ltd., which export the precious metal in a semi-refined form.
该国是锰的第三大出口国，约占全球矿产供应的10%，数据来自美国地质调查局。加纳虽然拥有相当规模的铝土矿储量，但其铝土矿产量仍属少量。
The country is the No. 3 exporter of manganese, accounting for about 10% of global mined supply, according to the US Geological Survey. Ghana is also a small producer of bauxite, although it has sizable reserves of the mineral.
