MINING & TRADE REVIEW CLOCKS 17 YEARS
July 22, 2026 / Admin
Mining & Trade Review is celebrating 17-years of newspaper publishing having produced the first edition in 2009.
Publishing Editor Marcel Chimwala thanks various stakeholders including the Malawi Government and players in the minerals sector in Malawi including mineral exploration and mining companies, equipment suppliers, consultants and readers for contributing to the survival and growth of the publication.
Chimwala says: “We are happy that we are celebrating 17 years on the market, able to publish regularly to an ever growing subscriber base. It has been a long journey that combines good and bad times. We started in 2009 as a newsletter for the Ministry responsible for Mining that came out once in that year.”
“Later we had stakeholders such as Mota-Engil, Globe Metals & Mining, Mkango Resources and Sovereign Metals coming in to advertise their exploration results. It is through untiring support from these stakeholders that we have survived over the years though support from government was stopped due to budgetary limitations,”
He explains that though the journey is still not smooth in financial terms, there is growth as the publication is now coming out twice a month and remarkably three times this June, with continuos daily online updates.
“We decided to publish this edition, a third one for June 2026, as a token of appreciation for the support we have been receiving from our readers over the years. We felt we should give them something extra to read,” Chimwala says.
He also thanks the newspaper’s staff and contributors for their continued dedication that is instrumental to the survival and growth of the newspaper.
Minister of Mining Thoko Tembo also hailed Mining & Trade Review for the role it is playing in informing and educating Malawians on mining issues.
He explained that President Dr Arthur Peter Mutharika’s government believes in transparency and accountability, which is a possibility with the help of such publications.
Mining & Trade Review appears in print and online on its website www.miningtradenews.com and Facebook Page Mining Review Malawi. The electronic copy of the publication is circulated online and through Whatsapp and other social media channels.

Rehabilitation:
The establishment of a stable and self-sustaining ecosystem, but not necessarily the one that existed before mining began. In many cases, complete restoration may be impossible, but successful remediation, reclamation, and rehabilitation can result in the timely establishment of a functional ecosystem.

Remediation:
The cleanup of the contaminated area to safe levels by removing or isolating contaminants. At mine sites, remediation often consists of isolating contaminated material in pre-existing tailings storage facilities, capping tailings and waste rock stockpiles with clean topsoil, and collecting and treating any contaminated mine water if necessary.
