METAL REFINING BUSINESS ADVANTAGES IN AFRICA
  • 30% of the world's mineral reserves in Africa including vast quantities of gold, copper, cobalt, and lithium. Investing in domestic refining positions Africa to become a key player in this rapidly growing market.
  • The estimated value of Africa's exported unrefined minerals is around USD 50 billion annually. Studies suggest Africa could gain an additional USD 10 billion annually by processing just a portion of its minerals domestically. Investing in domestic metal refining will allow you to capture a significantly larger share of the value chain.

  • Demand for critical minerals like cobalt (67% of global reserves in Africa) and lithium surging globally. The global lithium market is expected to reach a value of USD 21.0 billion by 2028.
  • Invest in training programs to create a skilled workforce. This not only ensures a steady pipeline of talent but also empowers local communities through job creation and knowledge transfer.
