Join us now for an insightful session on “Bridging the Capacity Gap” led by Nafi Chinery,Africa Director at the Natural Resource Governance Institute. Our CEO, Olivier S. Pognon; JingJing Z., Executive Director at the Center for Transnational Environmental Accountability; Jean Pierre Okenda, Director of Extractive Industries at the Resource Matters are exploring crucial questions, including: what expertise gaps threaten African countries' negotiation positions? How can external resources like legal and NGO representatives address these gaps? What's the role of regional and international organizations in this?

In 2023 approximately 90% of Kamoa-Kakula’s concentrates were shipped to international customers from the ports of Durban in South Africa and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, where an average round-trip takes between approximately 40 and 50 days.   The distance from Kamoa-Kakula in the DRC to the port of Lobito in Angola is approximately half that compared with the port of Durban and transportation by rail is both quicker and significantly less energy-intensive.   Once fully active, the Lobito Atlantic Railway Corridor is expected to significantly improve the logistics costs and reduce the Scope 3 emissions carbon footprint of Kamoa-Kakula copper exports.   The development of Ivanhoe’s current and future copper discoveries within the Western Foreland basin will also greatly benefit from the Lobito Corridor.   #whyafrica #africa #whymineafrica #copper #mining #cobalt #ports #rail #lobito #angola #zambia #DRC #criticalminerals #africanmining #mininginafrica #whyafricaroadtrips     https://lnkd.in/dmUjcQsM

30 years. That's how long Investing in African Mining Indaba has been going, and how long its host country, South Africa has been democratic. Both are extraordinary stories in their own right of hard-earned progress, but also of huge unrealised potential. As South Africans decide who can be trusted to fulfill the promise of the rainbow nation, the role that mining can and must play in changing lives - here and around the world - has never been more important. We need to recognise our sector's legacy in its entirety - good, bad and ugly - and commit to making the next 30 years the best yet for all involved and affected. For that reason, one of my highlights at this year's Indaba was the honest and memorable discussion on Mineral Resource governance with Helaina Matza, Abigail Hunter, Lindiwe Mazibuko and Richard Price - the five of us are more culpable than anyone else to make sure the principles we talked about actually lead to change on the ground.
