The low-carbon economy of the future depends on mining and in turn, the future of mining largely depends on the exploration for and discovery of new mineral deposits. The African continent remains a treasure chest of green metals and minerals and has significant reserves of platinum cobalt, chromium and other battery metals. Yet despite this, Africa trails far behind when it comes to exploration spend, making it the last untapped mineral-rich continent. https://lnkd.in/dwPDxNXd

News bite | Ugandan has been ambitiously working towards growing the nation’s economy tenfold, aiming to expand its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from USD 50 billion in FY2022/2023 to USD 500 billion by 2040. However, key private sector leaders assert that prioritising the mining sector is essential to achieving this target. The National Development Plan IV (NDPIV), set to commence in FY2025/26, emphasises the implementation of the Mining Act (2022) to address systemic issues. According to Richard Kaijuka, Chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Uganda Chamber of Mines & Petroleum and former Minister of Energy and Mineral Development, effective execution of the NDPIV plan could significantly increase the mining sector’s contribution to the national GDP.

In this Mozambique Mining Industry Spotlight article, I explain the role of the Chamber of Mines of Mozambique and highlight the huge potential for mining in Mozambique. The energy transition offers a big opportunity for Mozambique in terms of supplying the critical raw materials the world needs. Regional cooperation in the beneficiation of critical raw materials and building new supply chains is key. Other topics in this interview are the ongoing efforts of the Chamber of Mines of Mozambique to promote best practices in artisanal mining and how local content can be a win-win for all stakeholders. #CMM #Mozambique #localcontent #criticalrawmaterials #beneficiation

Africa holds 30% of the world’s #mineral #reserves and as of 2022, counts for less than 10% of the global mining #exploration spend. According to S&P Global World Exploration Trends 2023, exploration allocations on the continent increased by 11.6%, less than the global average. Africa’s vast unexplored mineral wealth makes the continent all the more critical in the race to secure the supplies needed to achieve #decarbonisation and to meet the global demand for #critical minerals #whyafrica #africa #exploration #mining #whymineafrica #whyexploreafrica #miningindaba #miningnews  Leon Louw Investing in African Mining Indaba Geotheta Consulting Engineers and Scientists https://lnkd.in/dgkTTYKe

The Africa Down Under Conference closes today and has offered enormous insight into the challenges of exploring and mining in Africa, as well as the successes. This was the 22nd edition of Africa Down Under (ADU) which was first launched to raise awareness of Australia’s interests in African #mining and #energy.  The three-day meeting has evolved to become the largest African-focused mining event held outside the continent itself, which is reflected by the number of high-profile participants who attend each year.   Over the past 12 years, the mining sector has played a pivotal role in driving economic development in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire, with ongoing exploration yielding results across a range of commodities, including #gold, #IronOre, #nickel, #cobalt, #copper, #bauxite and #manganese.

As Business Maverick Editor Tim Cohen wrote: “The big takeaway from the African Mining Indaba is incredibly obvious and simple: Africa is increasingly eating SA’s lunch”. He said for decades, mining companies had preferred to mine in South Africa — and possibly Botswana — rather than other African countries. But that was changing. It’s not easy to quantify the decline, though the Fraser Institute ranked South Africa only 57th among 62 global mining jurisdictions in its 2022 mining Investment Attractiveness Index. Botswana ranked 10th, Côte d’Ivoire 30th, Ghana 33rd, Namibia 38th and Tanzania 53rd. Angola and Zambia ranked lower than South Africa — but it’s clear that all three, and others, are moving ahead, while South Africa is seemingly stagnating.
