“There’s Gold in Them Thar Hills”:The Business and Future of African Exploration and Mine Developme

Africa is home to almost untold mineral wealth – from battery metals to precious gems and gold, and rare earths to iron ore. However, while the continent has the world’s biggest reserves of diamonds, cobalt, uranium, manganese, and platinum, most of this remains underground and untouched. For African mining to fulfil its potential to create wealth and drive development, these resources need to be discovered, financed, extracted and properly utilised.

Our expert panel explores the promise and perils of mining exploration across the continent as well as the technologies, policies, regulations, and practices needed to bring new African mines into existence.
