African mining sector development

Overview

The African mining sector is experiencing a period of expansion characterized by new project developments, increased production, and infrastructure advancements across several nations.

In North and West Africa, Algeria has accelerated construction at the Tala Hamza-Oued Amizour zinc and lead mine, involving infrastructure such as high-voltage power lines. In Burkina Faso, the Bielméra Mining project has reached 90% completion and is transitioning to a miniaturized industrial mine using a community shareholding financing model.

Other regional developments include the commencement of ore feeding at the Kurmuk Gold Mine in Ethiopia and the launch of a drilling programme at the Nguni Prospect in Namibia. In Zambia, copper production at the Roan and Molefe operations saw a significant increase. Additionally, in Nigeria, security contracts have been secured for the polymetallic Jema’a Resource Project.
