Reimagining mineral wealth in Africa

Africa holds approximately 30% of the world’s critical mineral reserves. Among them are minerals essential to the global defense sector, aerospace and green energy supply chains, such as titanium, graphite, lithium, beryllium and rare earth elements (REEs). Equally vital are gallium, germanium and silicon, which serve as key inputs for semiconductor manufacturing that underpin the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution and the rapid growth of global data infrastructure.
