Global Mining outlook and the effect on Africa
As the world aims to be more carbon neutral, the search for essential minerals to satiate the quest becomes more and more keen.

Copper demand would have doubled, lithium and Nickel demand would increase by four fold and three fold respectively.” If the prediction of the report is anything to go by then, this steers massive investment toward the continent. It also raises the question of the modalities of these investments and what benefits will these countries get as a result of them.
