"We urge the government to review the mining industry strategy to attract mineral exploration investments, reignite mining project development, accelerate new mineral discoveries, and encourage optimal utilization of Nigerian mineral resources in line with the Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) principles for sustainable growth. Furthermore, we urge the government to address the sector's funding issues and enable enhanced access to finance for processing value-added minerals based products by establishing seed funds and special incentives to attract foreign and domestic investors". Dr. Chinyere Almona, FCA Director-General, Lagos Chamber of Commerce & Industry How important is it for the government to review the mining industry strategy? Your opinion matters to us, please share your thoughts in the comments section.

💥 The lack of information on mineral resources, particularly in Africa, is an obstacle to development. Due to a lack of knowledge of what is found in African soils, countries do not benefit enough from the exploitation of minerals. 📢 “Let investors and states each find their own interests”. 📢 Our goal is "the discovery of economic deposits and of course the assessment of the mineral potential of the subsoil in the study areas". 📢 "Private investment must be encouraged to support mining production ».

The European Union and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development have agreed to invest 100 million euros in critical raw material projects. The capital will be allocated to mineral exploration companies and projects in countries where the EBRD operates and countries covered by the Horizon Europe program. The equity is aimed at offsetting the fact that junior mining companies do not yet generate active revenue in the exploration and development stage. #rawmaterials #mining #criticalminerals #eu #mining

Africa is expected to be a focus of mineral development for the global energy transition, with about a third of the world's mineral resources found there. Miners will need to move into newer mining territories to find the volumes of cobalt, copper, lithium, manganese, and platinum group metals needed for future markets. However, the mining industry faces challenges such as infrastructure deficiencies and regulatory clarity, which can take a decade or more to progress from discovery to production. A well-informed strategic approach is needed for mineral ventures to ensure success.

ZM: Calls for Greater African Representation and Investment in Infrastructure Editorial Comment The recent Mining Indaba brought together industry leaders, government officials, and stakeholders to discuss the future of mining in Africa. While the event showcased the continent’s vast mineral wealth and technological advancements, it also underscored key areas for improvement and action. Among the highlights of the event was the increased focus on Africa’s potential as a mining powerhouse. With abundant natural resources and a growing emphasis on technology, the continent stands poised for significant growth in the sector. 

"By getting mining investment right, the United States can set a new precedent for its collaboration with African countries in other areas, such as health, security, and technology" write Rama Yade and Sibi Nyaoga.

Midnight Sun's Shares Plunge Amid Zambian Licensing Setback Midnight Sun Mining's (TSXV: MMA) shares dropped sharply following the news that the Zambian government declined to renew its exploration license for the Kazhiba target at the Solwezi copper project. This development highlights concerns over Zambia's licensing system and its impact on exploration capital. A Zambian Corporate Finance Executive & Lawyer commented: "This makes sad reading and underscores the importance of having an efficient and transparent licensing system if the 3 million MT ambition is to be achieved. Security of tenure is critical to attracting much-needed exploration capital. It's good to note that modernizing the licensing system and removing administrative bottlenecks are objectives under the recently published 3 million MT Copper Production 2030 Strategy. However, it remains to be seen how this will be implemented." Midnight Sun Mining (TSXV: MMA) (OTC: MDNGF), Maurice Lembela Khalifa, Sharon Sakuwaha 🇿🇲 https://lnkd.in/d6PzXSHF

https://lnkd.in/dYAb65EK Public acceptance within the EU on mining & critical minerals appears to be quite challenging. Often, there is a level of misperception in terms of what actually is planned to happen when developing and / or operating a mine, resulting in (unnecessary) delays or even halting a project. Community engagement is key. The Nordics show this is well-possible. Brussels (EU), mining companies and communities should place a more intensified effort to get buy in from stakeholders. #MiningCom #EU #ESG #CommunityEngagement #LicenseToOperate #CRMA #Nordics

Sustainable Mining: Balancing Value and Responsibility At first glance, the concept of sustainable mining may seem contradictory, given that minerals, once extracted, cannot be replenished in their original state. However, while this fact remains undeniable, the immense value attributed to minerals can yield significant benefits for communities and nations alike. Recent endeavours in this field have been propelled by governmental policies and mining enterprises acknowledging the importance of ethical practices and sustainability objectives. The key to any sustainable development intervention is to consult with those who can benefit most, the immediate communities.
