Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Disruptive Discussion : Security of critical minerals supply: China? The West? Saudi Arabia? Or Africa?

  • The struggle to secure minerals supply – particularly transition minerals is widely acknowledged – will there be a clear winner for securing the greatest supply? 
  • Is resource nationalism the answer to ensuring governments don’t lose control of their mineral assets? 
  • Foreign investment may be the solution to funding new projects in Africa – but are they doing enough to ensure economic wealth for the countries they choose to work with? 
  • Do local communities have a say?
