Regulations to implement Congo’s new mining code

KINSHASA, June 10 (Reuters): Regulations to implement Congo's new mining code have been signed into law with no changes, advisers to the prime minister told Reuters on Saturday, despite objections from mining firms that have been threatening legal action.

Prime Minister Bruno Tshibala signed the regulations into law overnight, his adviser Patrick Mutombo Buzangu told Reuters by telephone, but gave no further details.

The prime minister's legal counsel Anita Lwambwa later confirmed that none of the changes being demanded by the mining industry had been made.
