Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Balancing Supply and Security

Are international mineral partnerships providing equal value to producers?

  • Minerals have become a form of political capital on the global stage. What role does access to a secure mineral supply have?
  • With a lack of contextual understanding & consultation of continental stakeholders, is the Western approach to mineral partnerships patronising to Africa? Does this push producers to alternate sources?
  • Despite the promise of win-win relationships from alternative sources, how much value have these partnerships actually provided to the continent?
  • How can prospective partners promote Africa’s development, through localisation and contribute to the integration of producer countries into the value chain?
