After 10 years in communications, I have shifted my focus back to international relations. My role as a Political Risk and Engagement Specialist leverages my educational background in Political Science. Having previously crafted award- winning communication and stakeholder engagement strategies for corporates and NGOs, I now specialise in analysing and mitigating political and regulatory risks in the mining industry. My value and expertise lie in guiding Anglo American toward well- informed decision-making in our host countries.
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.
