Takele Uma. He indicated that the production of gold has tripled by the measures taken by the government to fight contraband trading of gold by making available gold collection centres near the artisan miners.
In his report Eng. Takele also stated that the country has exported 15 tons of tantalum and close to 767 kilograms of opal produced by artisan miners. Over the last three months, Ethiopia has earned a total of $178 million from the export of minerals mainly gold, opal and tantalum.
