The Revised Mining Act will be tabled in Parliament in the next sitting.
Secretary for the Department of Mineral Policy and Geohazards Management, Harry Kore, revealed this during the welcome ceremony of Mining Vice Minister, Jimmy Uguro.
Work on the Revised Mining Act began 10 years ago, and was brought to the NEC in 2017 but never went past Cabinet.
Since then, the Department has held continuous consultation with industry players and the Secretary said they have done everything they needed to do.
Last year the revised Mineral Resources Authority Act was introduced.
Currently the Department is working in collaboration with the Mineral Resources Authority to revise the Mining Safety Act of 1977.
The revised Act will incorporate the latest practice and advancement in technology.
Meanwhile, Mining Minister Johnston Tuke welcome his Vice Minister, Uguro, to his new role.
He called on the Vice Minister to support him as they oversee a key portfolio.
