ASI receives strong praise for minerals success in Sierra Leone

An independent review of ASI's DFID funded minerals project in Sierra Leone has heaped praise on the project.  The reviewers said:

"ASI has carried out an exemplary project in terms of their management, technical competence, engagement, and commitment.  GoSL has high regard for the quality of the work done. The outputs of the project are clearly evident in the publication of two new Acts, Bills, Regulations and Guidelines totaling more than 500 pages of official text. Some components of the work, including revisions to the Mines and Minerals Act and work on the critical area of regulation and support for Artisanal and Small Scale Miners should be disseminated as examples of good practice internationally".
