Mining in Madagascar
15:37 May 4 2018 Madagascar
Description
I'm going to focus on Madagascar again because this is where I'm most interested in. Right now there is a little conflict over some gold mines, but there are many other ores and minerals in Madagascar. It is mostly considered foreign investment at this point which could cause conflict because locals are not getting the benefits from the mining. Also with Madagascar being an island, it is expensive to export mined materials.Additional Data
