As the energy transition continues, tapping into the reserves of critical minerals and securing their supply chains is crucial. For this graphic, Visual Capitalist partnered with Appian Capital Advisory LLP to provide visual context to the top countries for reserves, production, and processing of minerals that are vital to the energy transition. The analysis uses data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) across four minerals: #lithium, #cobalt, natural graphite, and #rareearths. https://lnkd.in/ghnXQPyU

Forming strategic partnerships with countries and companies leading the transition to clean energy can help secure markets for African battery minerals. African countries should aim to diversify their export markets to reduce dependency on a few buyers, making them less vulnerable to price fluctuations and geopolitical risks. By addressing these areas, #Africa can better position itself to fulfill its potential in the global #batteryminerals market, ensuring that the continent’s resources contribute to sustainable economic growth and development. Africa holds a significant percentage of the world’s reserves for several key battery #minerals. https://lnkd.in/efEnAMfm

Critical Minerals is the buzzword of the decade in the commodities sector. They’re not just any minerals, they are minerals important enough for governments to invest into projects themselves, or otherwise incentivise the development of projects. But amidst all the hype, a step back and look into what these #minerals are, why they’re critical and how to invest in them. https://lnkd.in/eSztdem6

Rwanda's latest lithium exploration efforts have entered advanced stages as companies involved are preparing to commence core-drilling. In August last year, Rwanda embarked on greater exploration efforts through a joint venture that was signed between Aterian plc, Rio Tinto Mining and Exploration Ltd, and Kinunga Mining Ltd. Aterian PLC, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange is an exploration, trading, and development company with a diversified portfolio in Africa dealing in critical and #strategicmetals projects. The agreement indicated that RIO has the option to invest $7.5 million in two stages to earn up to a 75 percent interest in the license to explore minerals vital for a successful #energytransition to #renewableenergy. In an exclusive interview with The New Times, Charles G. Bray, Executive Chairman of Aterian plc, a British company that has been doing mineral exploration in Rwanda for the past four years, said core-drilling is set to begin this September. https://lnkd.in/egEVTrsq
