The Symbiotic Approach

Do joint ventures enable junior miners?

  • Providing an overview of the current major/junior partnerships in the continent – what makes these so successful?
  • Are majors doing enough to support junior/exploration activities in Africa?
  • Can such an approach help to plug the exploratory capital shortfall?
  • How can juniors ensure they retain their freedom for mining operations, whilst balancing capital provisions?
  • With the push for critical minerals across Africa, how are governments supporting & partnering with Juniors to maximise production?
