Critical Minerals in Africa

Developing exploration projects towards production

  • Marrying demand and supply - what can juniors do to accelerate their critical minerals projects beyond exploration-only assets?
  • Is the continent adequately set up to support these projects? How will a lack of infrastructure affect junior miners’ ability to deliver critical minerals projects to market at volumes that support global demand?
  • How can a candid approach to traceability by juniors improve the marketability of their mineral assets?
  • How do juniors find equal opportunities for their critical mineral projects in-country through downstream beneficiation and through export
