    "content": "(b) The Government is encouraging investors to undertake mineral value addition including the establishment of iron and steel industry in the private sector initiatives. In order to effectively carry out value addition on iron ore, there is need to undertake feasibility studies to determine the amount of ore which is available in the country because investment in iron and steel industry is capital intensive and there is need to enhance the confidence levels and lower the risk of investors in providing adequate information on the deposits of the iron ore resources. This is being undertaken currently through sensitization and issuance of licences for iron ore exploration to determine the quantities of iron ore available in the country. Apart from works being undertaken by private companies, one of which I have outlined, the Government is also carrying out an assessment of iron ore deposits."
