Rethinking resource nationalism – a cash grab or a fair share?

•   With in increase of exports bans of unprocessed minerals, is this the signal of a wider trend across the continent?
•   How have mining companies reacted to this continental shift? Does the uncertainty of access dry up investment?
•   What effect has this move towards greater beneficiation requirements had on existing and future mining projects?
•   Are these approaches short sighted? Is too much of the justification for resource nationalism based in misinformation and cupidity?
