The role of Africa in the global mining industry

Africa is an essential player in the global mineral commodity supply, holding significant amounts of critical mineral commodities, such as cobalt, gold, and platinum. Mineral commodities are distributed widely, with certain countries being major producers of specific commodities. For instance, the DRC was a leader in cobalt and tantalum production in 2021, while South Africa was a leader in platinum production. Mining growth in Africa positively impacts the development of African countries and attracts more foreign investments to the continent.
 
The global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is expected to enhance the further expansion of Mining in Africa in the coming years.
