Mineral Beneficiation

UDC supports the development of Uganda’s mineral sector through investments that promote local processing and value addition. The Corporation seeks to facilitate the transition from the extraction and export of raw minerals to the production of processed and higher-value mineral products for domestic, regional and international markets.

Through strategic partnerships and investment in mineral-based industries, UDC supports the development of processing facilities, industrial capacity and related value chains. These interventions are intended to maximise the economic value of Uganda’s mineral resources, create employment, strengthen local industries and contribute to industrial development.
