The EU Zambia Copper Business Forum held last week highlighted a key challenge: Zambia's 3 million ton/year copper goal is hindered partially due to a lack of funding, not resources. We have the copper, but struggle to finance greenfield field projects, especially during the pre-bankability stage. Unlike developed economies, Zambia lacks accessible informal funding networks (friends, relatives) capable of raising the $2 million required to fund drilling works, which are crucial for exploration stage mining ventures. We, as the finance community, must develop innovative solutions to bridge this gap and unlock Zambia's copper potential. #euzbf2024

Attention Readers! Following up on my previous post about gold mining opportunities in Osun State, Nigeria, I'm seeking recommendations for reputable laboratories to test gold purity. A landowner claims to have high-purity gold (over 20 karats), and we want to verify this information as we attract foreign investors through state partnerships. Osun State: A Prime Investment Destination Established in 1991, Osun State offers a fresh investment landscape. Under the leadership of our dynamic Governor, His Excellency Senator Ademola Adeleke, the state is experiencing unprecedented growth. This is the perfect time for investors to join us! Connecting You with Osun State I'm here to guide and connect genuine individuals, organizations, states, governments, NGOs, and nations with the Osun State Government. We believe in creating mutually beneficial partnerships (win-win synergy). Let's Discuss! I'm open to discussing investment opportunities in Osun State. Feel free to send me a private message.

In a Law.com International article published on 17 October 2024, TEMPLARS Partner, Dayo Okusami discussed the trend across African nations to gain more control over their mining assets. Dayo highlighted TEMPLARS’ role in advising the Ghana Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) in successfully acquiring a stake in Atlantic Lithium, an Australia-based public company, as well as another $30 Million transaction with one of Africa’s largest salt miners. These transactions exemplify how state actors are increasingly participating in resource-driven investments, reshaping the legal landscape across the continent. These regulations in Ghana, South Africa, and Tanzania, amongst other countries, are reshaping the business environment by adding layers of legal and operational challenges for multinational investors.

South Africa has a mature mining sector with a high level of expertise and a lot of opportunity. Asset managers need to have a view on commodities, beyond just resources as there are underlying opportunities in platinum group metals PGMs. Resources is a cyclical asset, and it is important to understand where we are in the cycle and hold both a short-term and long-term view. Shawn Phillips, Portfolio Manager at Sanlam Investments guided the panel discussion on this topic with Chantelle Baptiste (Fairtree ), Ayesha Samsodien (M&G Investments) and Bernard Wessels (Coronation Fund Managers)    Hildegard Wilson, in discussion with Feroz Basa (Sanlam Investments), Stewart Hogg (Baillie Gifford) and Nico Janse van Rensburg (Amplify Investment Partners) provided a global asset manager view of South African stocks and where they see the opportunities in emerging markets beyond South Africa. #GlacierInvestmentSummit #TopSecretsToSuccessfulInvesting #GlacierbySanlam #ThinkWorldClass

Great panel discussion at #GlacierInvestmentSummit on the South African mining sector , PGMs and what does the rise of electric vehicles mean for us?

Earlier today, I had the opportunity to make a presentation on "Minerals Value Addition and Value Chain Development - Essential Tools for Ghana's Development" at the Stakeholder Conference of Ghana's Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF). I emphasized the need to be intentional about leveraging Africa's mineral resources in value-added global supply chains. I also pointed out that the attainment of AU's Agenda 2063 can be optimzed if the Africa Mining Vision is implemented through regional coordinated efforts. Further, there is a need to consciously stimulate demand for value-added mineral products instead of the export of raw minerals. The involvement of governments in the sector must be with a commercial mindset, and I urged MIIF to help drive this paradigm shift if MIIF is to become one of the continent's significant sovereign wealth funds. #CriticalMinerals #ValueAddition #AfricaMiningVision #AUAgenda2063 #RegionalCoordination #MindsetShift #MineralIncomeInvestments

The concern or apprehension by our #financialinstitutions regarding funding mining projects in #nigeria are unfounded. Recall that the #gold that was gifted to Jesus Christ was mined without any evidence of exploration work having been carried, so let's be bullish and let's produce ourselves out of the current economic paralysis. Check out Thor Explorations Ltd last two years results, what is the magic??? Now the question, how much of that results are kept here in #nigeria??? This is where our #banks need to be intentional, brave and not timid; by all means do your due diligence but think outside the box to get things moving and fast...!!! NGSA NIGERIA are there to help you make sense of any data, I bet my last kobo that mineralized site are like 7 months pregnancy, they don't hide, if the minerals aren't there phrases like "truth to God", "by God we make you and I" and "by the special grace of God" Won't apply...!!! PolyGuard Investment Nigeria Ltd drilling activities revealed tremendous mineralization, geochemical analysis confirmed presence of over 61 elements, many of course are trace minerals but with fully mechanize operation, we anticipate strong recovery of these minor minerals which monetization could help fund more development projects in our communities. Reach out for a conversation on how we could partner to supply your high grade #barite, #lead, #zinc order.
