Its production targets are set at 60,000 tons of nickel and 5,600 tons of cobalt per year. Valued at USD 5.5 billion with an operational lifespan of 29 years, it is the largest foreign investment in Madagascar and one of the most significant in sub-Saharan Africa. Ambatovy ranks among the world\u2019s largest lateritic nickel companies. Following a five-month suspension of activities in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ambatovy resumed operations in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambatovy paid nearly USD 44 million in taxes, duties, and royalties for the 2022 fiscal year and spent over USD 340 million on the purchase of goods and services in the local market. In September 2020, all payments to the beneficiary entities of rebates distributed by Ambatovy were suspended. Challenged by the decline in metal prices, the Malagasy giant is struggling to survive in a global market where several of its competitors have exited since 2023. The Council of Ministers, on 3 April 2024, approved authorization for Ambatovy to sell Ammonium Sulfate (SA) on the domestic market beyond the 10% limit set by the LGIM, to support agricultural development and production in rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mining Code :<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following various consultation workshops led by the Ministry in charge of Mines in March 2022, still within the framework of drafting a new law for the mining sector, the <a href=\"https:\/\/eitimadagascar.mg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/L2023-007-VF.pdf\">Loi n\u00b02023-007 du 27 juillet 2023<\/a> revising the Mining Code was enacted on 2 October 2023.

Following numerous negotiations conducted by His Excellency the President of the Republic with the aforementioned mining company, a Memorandum of Understanding  was agreed upon on August 22, 2023, as a supplement to the aforementioned Establishment Convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The content of this Memorandum of Understanding between the Malagasy State and QMM specifies :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cancellation of the capital increase debt : The advance paid by QMM to the Malagasy State for the capital increases in 2012 and 2015, amounting to USD 77.2 million, is immediately cancelled. To account for capital variations, particularly capital increases, the State now holds 15% of non-dilutable shares on a free carry basis (entitled to dividends) and retains 20% of voting rights, maintaining two representatives on the Board of Directors.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Payment of Advance Dividends for 2023 : QMM will immediately pay USD 12 million to the Malagasy State as advance dividends. However, a decision was made by the Council of Ministers to transfer OMNIS\u2019s shares in QMM to the Madagascar Sovereign Fund (FSM). This transfer delayed the payment of the USD 12 million, which has not yet been made in 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Profit-Sharing Policy from 2023 onwards : From now on, QMM will pay dividends to the Malagasy State without waiting for the return on investment, amounting to USD 1 billion, up to 2030, by allocating 40% of its profits to the Malagasy State. From 2031 to 2048, this profit-sharing will increase to 60% until the total investment is recovered. It should be noted that QMM currently still owes USD 704 million to its parent company, Rio Tinto. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Participation in the construction of RN 13 : QMM will donate USD 8 million once the new agreement comes into effect, to contribute to the construction of the 109 km National Road No. 13. A disbursement of USD 6 million was approved based on the progress of the works in 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Establishment of a CSR Budget : The CSR budget allocated to the social component for Madagascar will be USD 4 million per year, of which USD 500,000 will be dedicated to reforestation, 50% of the remaining amount will be invested in local municipalities affected by the mining project, and the other 50% will be allocated to the region where the extraction site is located. This USD 4 million budget will increase by 2% annually.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coverage of Wastewater Treatment Generated by the Project: QMM will allocate USD 13 million to carry out these wastewater treatment works. The Malagasy State must publish a consolidated summary report of the analysis results of the water used in and around the Mandena mine, conducted by the National Water and Sanitation Authority (ANDEA) in collaboration with QMM in May 2022.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Contribution as a Social Investment for the Petriky and Sainte-Luce Deposits : As soon as QMM begins mining operations at the Petriky deposit, it will immediately pay USD 3.3 million to the Malagasy State. Regarding the Sainte-Luce deposit, the company will immediately pay USD 15 million to the Government.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fiscal and Parafiscal Obligations : QMM\u2019s fiscal obligations remain unchanged, except for the professional tax and IFPB, which no longer exist under Malagasy law. This new fiscal arrangement will remain in force for another 25 years and must still be submitted to Parliament as part of the ratification of the Establishment Convention. As for parafiscal obligations, royalties and community payments have been adjusted to 2.5%, compared to 2% in previous years.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Renewable Energy Production Center : Within five years of the new agreement\u2019s entry into force, QMM will be required to install a renewable energy plant in Tolagnaro worth USD 35 million. The facility is expected to produce up to 20 MW of power, which will be made available to the residents of Tolagnaro.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increase in electricity production : QMM is also required to operationalize a second facility to support its annual production, representing an investment of USD 50 million, or to initiate mining operations at Petriky in order to achieve the first commercial production within two years.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Debt relief for JIRAMA : The USD 3 million debt owed by JIRAMA for past electricity supply will be entirely written off under the new agreement. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Establishment of a one-stop service : The Malagasy State will contribute to streamlining all administrative procedures to accelerate these additional investments. In particular, it has been decided that a one-stop service will be established to facilitate the various administrative processes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Establishment of a Consultation Committee : An interministerial consultation committee will be established to facilitate information exchange and communication between the Malagasy State and the company, as well as to ensure the monitoring of QMM\u2019s operations.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carbon Credit : The company will make a direct investment worth USD 5 million to obtain carbon credits for environmental protection in the Tsitongombarika protected area on behalf of the State. It is also planned to purchase additional carbon credits from the Malagasy State worth USD 10 million over the next five years. It should be noted that the use of the revenue generated from these carbon credits will be subject to approval by the Malagasy State in the Council of Ministers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Most recently, at its meeting on 25 September 2024, the Council of Ministers approved QMM\u2019s CSR plan for the 2024\u20132025 period and the related projects. Following the renewal of the agreement between the Malagasy Government and the company in 2023, Rio Tinto has committed to investing USD 4 million per year, with an annual increase of 2%, over a period of 25 years in the Anosy Region as part of its CSR programme. The identification of priority projects was based on deliberations among decentralized communities and consultations with local populations, coordinated by the Anosy Regional Authority, and is expected to deliver tangible benefits to the local communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.2.

Artisanal operators are national individuals working in remote and isolated quarries. They often face significant gaps in mining operations, both in terms of financial and technical capacities. Largely unconcerned with economic and environmental impacts and more focused on daily survival, artisanal miners represent a substantial loss of potential revenue for the Nation and pose serious environmental risks, as their mining activities, especially in rush areas, proliferate and frequently fall outside the legal framework.\n\nFollowing the verbal communication approved by the Council of Ministers on 4 May 2022, which endorsed the implementation of supervised areas for small-scale miners and gold panners, the Ministry of Mines authorized regulations to improve the artisanal mining sector through the formalization of miners within Supervised Zones \u201cZE\u201d. This approach encourages the acquisition of Mining Permits by groups of national individuals and strengthens monitoring and control through the establishment of Mining Specifications, similar to medium and large-scale Mining Permits, to professionalize artisanal miners in the exploitation of mineral resources.\n\nAs of December 2024, 336 Supervised Zones have been established, encompassing 9,603 artisanal miners under guidance in resource exploitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Le tableau ci-dessous est le nombre de ZE en 2022 :<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eitimadagascar.mg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/PIB-2022-Eng-1.jpeg\" data-original=\"https:\/\/eitimadagascar.mg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-16.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2241 lazy\" style=\"width:692px\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Gradual resumption of Mining Permit processing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The processing of pending mining permit applications at the BCMM concerns the evaluation of 209 mining permits reserved for artisanal miners, in accordance with compliance requirements under the current Mining Code and its implementing Decree.
