Africa’s Mining Olympics to take place at Mining on Top Africa,

 Who will win the race for Africa’s critical minerals?

Mining on Top Africa (#MOTA), the 7th Annual African Mining Congress will return once again to Paris, France for a crucial pre-Olympics meeting of the industry’s highest level mining decision makers.

The main theme of MOTA 2024, “Responsible Investing & Diversification Strategies in a Low-Growth Environment,” emphasizes the importance of sustainable and diverse investment practices and risk management within the African market. This theme aims to enhance economic resilience and foster mutually beneficial partnerships between Europe and Africa.

As Africa’s mining sector anticipates growth, the global demand for critical minerals underscores the continent’s potential to capitalize on its abundant resources. Essential battery minerals, vital for global transitions toward sustainability, as well as advancements in defence and space technologies, are central to this outlook. The success of strengthening value chains and securing financing for critical raw material (CRM) production hinges on effective partnerships and collaborations spanning continents.

Europe has already established partnerships in various African countries and is actively seeking further engagement. Institutions such as the European Investment Bank group could play a pivotal role in enhancing CRM value chains between the Europe and Africa. Against this backdrop, AME Trade Ltd is hosting the Mining on Top Africa Summit in Paris, providing European stakeholders with a unique opportunity to connect with decision-makers from Africa’s public and private sectors.
