In his lectures at the 4th Summer University of Saharawi Cadres underway in the Algerian Wilaya of Boumerdes, Mr. Khaddad underlined that a contract has been agreed with Australian company to explore for iron, gold and uranium in all the territories.


Once the Saharawi National Council (Council) approves the Mining Legislation, said the Saharawi official, exploration and exploitation of natural resources will be put into action in collaboration with friendly companies.
