•Mission Execute the National Development Plan (PND 2012 -2017) as defined by the Angolan Government successfully.
•Goals Diversify mining, currently concentrated in oil/gas and diamonds; Increase tax and fiscal revenues; improve population’s standard of living (whether by increasing number
of jobs, or by social investment in regions adjacent to mining areas).
•Values Transparency, Loyalty and Rigor
2. PLANAGEO - National Geology Plan
6PRESENTATION
NATIONAL GEOLOGY PLAN – Goal: to enhance geological knowledge throughout national territory, by:
Aerogeophysical, aerophotogrammetric, terrestrial geophysical, geological and geochemical surveys of the entire country;
Geological, geotechnical and hydrogeological maps to different scales:
Construction, equipping and operation for 2 years of 3 geochemistry laboratories (Luanda, Saurimo and Huila).
Training and qualification of staff; Operating method: Division of the country into 3 parts and contracting of 3 companies for the aerogeophysical and chemical surveys.
Duration: 5 years Investment: US$ 405,000,000 totally supported by the Government.
PLANAGEO
The National Geology Plan (Planageo) approved by Resolution Nº 85/09 of September 24, 2009, which establishes the reparation of shortcomings of Angola’s geological and mining information
PLANAGEO is a project whose objective is to:
1. Increase knowledge of the country’s geological and mining potential
2. Support Angola’s growth, identifying sources of resources needed to develop the economy
3. Develop the diversification of the national economy, currently concentrated on the production of oil/gas and diamonds

18PRESENTATION
RESULTS
INDUSTRIAL – A total of 7,923,532.56 carats marketed, worth 957,390,886.48 USD, at an average price of 120,828 USD.
DIAMONDSMINING
Some results that involve
Angola’s mining sector
ORNAMENTAL STONE SUBSECTOR - Ornamental stones (which include marble, granite and similar stones), overall production reached 32,857.03 m3 (to be reconciled, because quarries are located in areas without communications - telephone and internet) and exports, 25,003.07 m3. Sales (on the local market and exports) amounted to 9,148,117.15 USD.
QUARTZ SUBSECTOR - The export of large-volume samples (3,536 tonnes marketed), generated a total gross revenue of 85,020,000 Akz. (805,002 USD). The installed capacity of mines surpasses 70,000 tonnes/year, with existing stockpiles of quartz estimated at 45,000.
MINERALS FOR CONSTRUCTION (INERTS) SUBSECTOR – This includes Sand, Burgau, Gravel, Clay and Limestone, reached a total production 4,699,028.28 m3.
OTHER MINERALS
SMALL-SCALE – Small-scale production counted on six accredited operators for the purchase of raw diamonds, with 678,884.15 carats having been marketed, worth 206,473,890.33 USD, at an average price of 304.137 USD/ carat.

6. Partnerships
20PRESENTATION
PARTNERSHIPS The Republic of Angola subscribes, within the scope of mining, to the following vision:
IN RELATION TO AFRICAN COUNTRIES - exchanges of synergies, sharing of investments, knowledge and technologies, cooperation and involvement in regional and continental initiatives. Mutual assistance in improving knowledge of mineral resources on the continent with geological-mining research programs on every scale, in the diversification of geological-mining activity, in the establishment of better regulations that reinforce values of transparency in processes and legal security, in a greater conjoining of financing which is applied to the entire mining sector chain (from exploration to beneficiation) and in sustainability and social responsibility.
IN RELATION TO AMERICA, EUROPE, ASIA AND OCEANIA - change in thinking on Africa, in its fundamental pillars of Independence, Sovereignty, Trust and Respect; Independence - on the continent, natural resources belong to the African countries and their citizens, under the same conditions in which, in Europe, natural resources are also for their states and citizens; Sovereignty - African countries have the same right to decide freely, and without external conditions, on the mining of their resources; Trust - Western countries have - above all - to give the benefit of the doubt to African leaders; Respect - for the cultural and spiritual references, and even the behavioral ones, of Africans.
