he Afghan government is mulling to put on bid three more essential natural mines and give them to private sector for exploration, a local newspaper reported Wednesday. "The Ministry for Mines is going to hand over some oil and gas fields of northern Jauzjan and Sar-e-Pul provinces and Iron mine of Hajjigak in central Bamyan province to private sector in the current year," daily Rah-e-Nejat quoted Ibrahim Adil, the minister for Mines as saying.
