The EU and Gulf states are locking in long-term offtake agreements.
Africa’s mineral wealth must finance its industrialisation: Lessons from Indaba conference
The 2026 Investing in African Mining Indaba in Cape Town closed with a familiar paradox. Record-breaking attendance, surging investor interest, and bold declarations of African unity.
