Energy Transition Metals & Minerals – How can the African mining sector ensure security of supply?

Monday 06 February 14:30 - 15:20 Main Stage

Main Stage

The Energy Transition represents a monumental transformation of the global economy and metals and mined commodities are a key enabler of change. Without the extraordinary expansion of new metals supply, the transition will not unfold. But new supply sources will also bring  sustainability issues of their own. For suppliers and investors, the pace of change is unknown, but the opportunities are clear – and yet investment in mining is still to respond in earnest. What can be done to ensure sufficient supply while meeting the broader sustainability goals of the Paris Agreement?

Panel - From intent to impact: How to activate the journey towards sustainable mining of the future

Monday 06 February 14:45 - 15:30 InfraTech Auditorium

InfraTech

As the mining sector looks to adapt to global volatility and changes in the operating environment such as ESG and decarbonisation, digitisation and the build-up of workplace trust and culture, there is recognition that mining companies need to transform their way of working. However, few companies have truly understood the complexity of this change and considered the minimum requirement for this change: organisational readiness.

Metals Focus on Copper, Cobalt & Nickel: Price volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, production rates, and the opportunity for Africa

Monday 06 February 15:20 - 16:10 Main Stage

Main Stage

Copper, cobalt and nickel – arguably, three of the most valuable minerals in the sector – needed to drive the planet’s sustainability revolution. While Africa has an abundance of these minerals, can it play a truly meaningful role in meeting the planet’s growing demand while Africa’s political instability and lack of transparency remain major concerns for most global investors and end users? This session will explore just how Africa can emerge as a major mining investment hot spot for new tech minerals project developments.

Keynote Panel Debate: Security of Supply – Threat or opportunity in Africa’s metals and minerals supercycle context?

Tuesday 07 February 11:00 - 11:50 Main Stage

Main Stage

The mismatch between the demand and supply of minerals and metals needed to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change is projected to grow – creating risks to the global energy transition and decarbonisation of industries. The large concentration of several minerals and metals value chains – and ongoing strategies by multiple countries to secure minerals and metals needed for their economies and national securities in a resilient manner – create an opportunity for Africa to potentially grow its supply response capabilities, including for its own development needs. There are however also threats.

The amount of taxes paid by multinational corporations often appears in the media headlines – often times for the wrong reasons. What is not reported is that the mining sector is often the largest contributor of budget revenues (corporate income tax, royalties, dividends, indirect taxes, employee, and supplier taxes) in many developing countries and the largest employers. The investments and budget contributions by mining companies across Africa are a significant driver of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Minerals and the Energy Transition: Strategies and investment prospects for Africa, hosted by African Development Bank

Tuesday 07 February 14:00 - 16:00 Level 1 Stage

Special Content

Africa’s significant green minerals including lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese and Rare Earth Elements are part of the core enablers of the transport revolution towards low-carbon economic development. The growing demand for electric vehicles and battery storage facilities is driving the demand for these minerals, especially Lithium and Cobalt. This has pushed their processed product prices to astronomical levels and could be a game changer in the economic development of countries endowed with deposits of these minerals. For example, lithium carbonate prices have increased over 10x since 2021. Also, the demand for battery and technology minerals is estimated to increase 500% by 2050 to meet the growing demand for clean energy technologies.  

For Africa to seize opportunities in the battery and EV sector, this will require funding both in the backward (exploration, mining, services) and forward (e.g., battery and EV manufacturing) linkages development. And this is far beyond what public resources could provide. Private sector, particularly African private sector, investments will be essential for the continent to climb up the ladder in these important value chains.

This side event seeks to identify and analyse the key success factors that will enable Africa strategise to attract investment into the BEV sector towards optimising benefits from the value chain.

Geopolitical Shifts and their Effect on African Mining

Tuesday 07 February 16:20 - 16:35 Main Stage

Main Stage

With core national interests increasingly driving cooperation and competition between states; global companies, especially those in strategic sectors, have a clear charge: they must deeply understand and even shape geopolitical conversations to remain competitive and differentiated.

The three most important geopolitical questions for 2023 relate to: 1) the protracted war in Ukraine, and whether national leaders and businesses will be forced to choose a side; 2) simultaneous supply and demand-side disruptions to energy markets, and how global actors should weigh energy security, diversification of supply, and the scale of ambition for the green energy transition; and 3) US-China competition, protectionism, and “decoupling,” and how far to go on resiliency and redundancy for both supply chains and consumer markets. This session will offer an assessment of how mining companies in Africa are affected by these geopolitical shifts, as well as how they can incorporate geopolitics into strategy and risk management.

Strengthening ESG: Why anti-corruption and business integrity in the mining sector are key for the energy transition

Tuesday 07 February 16:30 - 17:00 Roof Terrace

Sustainable Development Day

As the world moves towards cleaner sources of energy, demand for minerals is growing exponentially. The mining sector has a critical role to ensure that the energy transition is sustainable and just. Low-carbon technologies in power generation and in transport require a higher level of mineral inputs than their fossil-fuel based versions. This includes notable minerals like cobalt, copper, lithium, nickel and rare earths among others.

Sourcing Capital Through a Digital Marketplace - A Workshop Masterclass

Wednesday 08 February 09:00 - 10:00 Expo Stage

Special Content

The JSE’s Private Placement Platform (PPP) is an online platform that allows unlisted private companies to raise capital from pre-qualified investors.

JSE has partnered with Globalcap Technology (UK & Europe) – UK based fintech company – providing the technology behind the PPP, but also the blueprint that the JSE is able follow in terms of running this platform.

The market has advised that pursuing capital raising from private investors is inefficient, takes a long time and involves quite a lot of back-and-forth exchanges as documentation isn’t

JPP helps companies looking to raise capital by putting all the necessary information into a standardised format and prequalifying companies before sending to investors. This allows Investors to receive complete, clear and standardised information which helps to eliminate the back-and-forth due to missing documentation.  But most importantly, the efficiency comes about from the JSE’s knowledge of the right investors to approach for that capital, targeting the right investors with the appetite and capability to participate in those fund raises.

- As mining companies seek to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and act to safeguard employees, some have relocated around 15-20% of their on-site workforce by setting up “control towers” to facilitate remote working.

- The drivers of technology in the industry have moved to develop more resilient, responsive, and flexible operating models suited to an increasingly uncertain environment.

- High level security, transparency and reliability are required across multiple operating regions in order to share business-critical data – but how is this being achieved amidst pan-African challenges?

Coal in 2023 finds itself in a unique situation among global electricity and steel sector feedstocks. The energy transition has very much begun, with coal now a fuel that is starting to move into structural decline. But it will still be needed for decades to come. Supplying coal for the remainder of its life will require investment that is very challenging in an ESG-driven investment environment. But as 2022 showed, coal is still being turned to when other fuels face challenges.

Keynote Panel: Unlocking the future of African mining through balanced contracts

Wednesday 08 February 11:00 - 12:00 Main Stage

Main Stage

Many African countries have yet to maximise the true value of their mineral resources since gaining independence. This is related to issues such as weak governance, limited knowledge, limited assessment or control of their mineral resources or geodata to underpin negotiations, inadequate capacity, and unfair contracts. Poorly negotiated contracts often lead to poor outcomes for the environment, host communities, civil society, governments, investors, and lenders. Bad contracts and outcomes also hinder mining investment, and affect the supply of important minerals and the stability and security of the mining value chain. Nonetheless, because Africa hosts significant reserves of the minerals required for the energy transition mining, mining on the continent is expected to expand in the foreseeable future, boding well for the future – not least through contracts that are fairer to the owners of the mineral resources.
