La R\u00e9publique d\u00e9mocratique du Congo renforce le contr\u00f4le de l’\u00c9tat sur les donn\u00e9es g\u00e9ologiques qui sous-tendent des milliards de dollars d’activit\u00e9s d’exploration mini\u00e8re, alors que le pays cherche \u00e0 accro\u00eetre son influence sur la mise en valeur de ses immenses ressources min\u00e9rales.<\/p>\n
Dans le cadre d’un contrat de 180 millions de dollars conclu avec la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 espagnole Xcalibur, le Congo cartographie son territoire et num\u00e9rise des archives g\u00e9ologiques historiques afin de constituer une base de donn\u00e9es nationale sur les ressources min\u00e9rales critiques.<\/p>\n
Le gouvernement pr\u00e9voit de restreindre l’acc\u00e8s \u00e0 ces donn\u00e9es via un syst\u00e8me payant \u00e0 plusieurs niveaux, arguant que les informations g\u00e9ologiques constituent une infrastructure nationale strat\u00e9gique.<\/p>\n
Cette initiative pourrait conf\u00e9rer \u00e0 Kinshasa un plus grand pouvoir de n\u00e9gociation face aux compagnies mini\u00e8res et favoriser les investissements en r\u00e9duisant les risques li\u00e9s \u00e0 l’exploration mini\u00e8re.<\/p>\n
Le Congo est un producteur majeur de cobalt et de cuivre et poss\u00e8de \u00e9galement des gisements de lithium et de tantale. Cette politique intervient alors que la concurrence s’intensifie entre les \u00c9tats-Unis et la Chine pour l’acc\u00e8s aux min\u00e9raux critiques.<\/p>\n
Le d\u00e9fi pour le gouvernement sera de concilier ce contr\u00f4le \u00e9tatique accru avec la transparence et l’acc\u00e8s pour les investisseurs, tout en veillant \u00e0 ce que les richesses min\u00e9rales du pays g\u00e9n\u00e8rent des retomb\u00e9es \u00e9conomiques plus larges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
