It's clear there's a strong belief in the potential of Africa's mining industry. 🌄 In my view, unlocking this potential hinges on three key strategies: 1️⃣ Controlling resources 🛢️🔒 2️⃣ Leveraging foreign investor experience 🤝💼 3️⃣ Developing a long-term strategic plan 📅📈 The focus on resource control signals a move towards more autonomy over natural assets, ensuring mining benefits are fully reaped by local communities and economies. 🏭➡️🏡 Additionally, the willingness to leverage foreign expertise suggests a readiness for collaborative growth and shared knowledge, recognizing the value of global partnerships. 🌐✨ Lastly, advocating for a 20+ year strategic plan shows a dedication to sustained transformation and industrialization, addressing the complexities of the mining sector head-on. 🚧🔮 #drc #zambia #miningindustry

Every year, 26 April marks the anniversary of the unification of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964, a landmark event that gave birth to the United Republic of Tanzania. Union Day is not just a celebration of the past.  It's a day to reflect on the challenges that have been overcome and the aspirations that continue to shape Tanzania. Geita Gold Mining Limited (GGML), a subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti, recognises the importance of this spirit of unity. Just as the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar created a stronger whole, GGML prioritises working with the communities in which it operates. Our core values embody the principles of Union Day and include - Respect: We value the diverse cultures and traditions within our workforce and surrounding communities.  - Collaboration: We believe in working with the Tanzanian government, local businesses and community leaders to achieve common goals. - Sustainability: We are committed to responsible mining practices that benefit the environment and local communities for generations to come.    Through these values, GGML strives to contribute to a stronger, more united Tanzania. #tanzaniaunionday #MiningforNationalDevelopment #agatanzania #MiningforDevelopment #miningforchange #mining #mininglife #miningtanzania #tanzania #SustainableGrowth #Sustainability #CorporateSocialResponsibility #CommunityDevelopment  

Effective mining policies can indeed strike a balance among citizens, the environment, and the energy transition. Achieving this balance requires a comprehensive approach that considers economic, social, and environmental factors while promoting ethical and sustainable practices in the mining industry.

For decades, the mining sector has recognised the need to invest in the development of its host communities, both from a regulatory perspective and in recognition of the historical inequities that continue to create socio-economic challenges in communities across South Africa. Community trusts (and similar broad-based community ownership schemes) are one vehicle through which companies seek to benefit communities. .

The small East African state of Eritrea is looking to develop its mining potential, writes Dr Nicolaas C Steenkamp. Following years of conflict with neighbouring Ethiopia, the state of Eritrea gained its independence in 1993, but border conflicts with Ethiopia flared up over the following years. The combination of continuous conflict and general poverty in the region has resulted in very little exploration or development of mining activities post-independence.

The Cost of Gold: Child Labor in Burkina Faso Running like a river beneath the sands of West Africa, massive rock strata laden with gold stretch from northern Ghana, across Mali and Burkina Faso and deep into Niger. Gold has been extracted from this part of Africa for centuries, but only in recent times has Burkina Faso been able to exploit the abundance of gold beneath its soil. Landlocked, Burkina Faso is wedged between Mali and Niger to the northwest and east, and borders Ghana on the north. Although large foreign countries had mined Burkina Faso gold for almost half a century, it wasn't until the famines of the 1980s forced families off their farms that artisanal or small-scale mining took root. Since then, thousands have migrated to the gold fields, abandoning their agrarian roots to toil in the small-scale mining operations that dot the countryside. To maximize profits, entire families work. And this means putting children to work as child laborers. Gold fever shows no sign of ending. https://wix.to/CcF8P8q #newblogpost

"As we look toward the future, we must take a stand against the challenges that have held us back for too long. Corruption, low human capacity, underdevelopment, and poverty can no longer define the future of the next generation of Liberians. Together, we will work tirelessly to build a brighter, more prosperous future for our beloved country. Let us unite in this mission and create a Liberia where every child has the opportunity to thrive." An effective strategy to foster wealth creation among Liberians involves ensuring that junior or new mining companies seeking to invest in our country's mineral resources allocate a minimum of 10 million shares or more to Liberian citizens. Similarly, established mining majors listed on stock exchanges should annually offer Liberians shares at discounted prices. This initiative aims to enable Liberians to participate in the profits generated by these companies, thereby fostering long-term wealth accumulation. It is essential to extend this approach beyond mineral resource companies to include oil companies as well. https://lnkd.in/eNyVvp4B #NewLiberia #FutureGeneration #EndCorruption #ProsperityForAll
