(Bloomberg) \u2014 Burundi announced the start of operations of African Mining Burundi Ltd., a local gold miner in which the government has a 15 percent stake, as the East African nation puts its mineral resources at the center of a planned economic resurgence.<\/p>\n

The company has been granted rights to nine mining sites, President Pierre Nkurunziza said at a Monday ceremony in Burundi’s northeast Muyinga province, according to national radio. Nkurunziza said AMB was created in Burundi last year but didn’t say who owns the remaining 85 percent.<\/p>\n

Burundi has declared an end to a more than three-year political crisis and is seeking to attract investment to the landlocked nation, which has 6 percent of the world’s known nickel reserves as well as gold, coltan and rare-earth minerals. A 10-year development plan targets raising economic growth to 10.7 percent by 2017 and increasing revenue from minerals by 47 percent.<\/p>\n
