Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Prof. Daniel Franks

Director Global Centre for Mineral Security


2025 Agenda Sessions

Who owns Africa’s minerals? What could Africa gain from 'minerals as a service?

  • What would happen if we never sold the mineral we mined to manufacturers and consumers?
  • How could this make mining and minerals more circular and sustainable?
  • How could this benefit businesses, mining communities, consumers and nature?
  • Could this enhance ‘mineral security’ for everyone?
  • Who is already doing this in minerals, and elsewhere?
