PwC's Marilyn Obaisa-Osula on sustainability in Nigeria's mining

"The main reason #artisanal miners are highly concentrated in #Africa is due to lack of #capital. With #investments, they can increase their yields and #profitability." Mansoor Hamayun, Chairman of Minexx shares insights on the company's $20 million #Islamic #finance #investment and its impact on the company's operations in #tin and #tantalum in the #DRC, #gold in #Guyana, in #Rwanda and #titanium in #Kenya, during African Mining Week 2025. #Mining #criticalminerals #smallscaleminers #energytransition #energydemand #cleanenergy #tokenization #digitalization #artisanalmining #responsiblemining #miningindustry #mininginAfrica #commodity #mineraltrading Energy Capital & Power

Nigeria mining: From progress to global relevance At the Nigeria Mining Week today, PwC’s Cyril Azobu, Partner and Mining Leader, shared insights on how Nigeria can unlock greater value from its mineral wealth: “Looking ahead, Nigeria’s focus should be about transitioning from being a minerals producer to a minerals processing and value-addition hub. Global relevance will not just be defined by export volumes but by leadership in responsible mining practices, technology and innovation, regional integration with the AfCFTA, and green energy minerals critical to the global energy transition.” As the global energy landscape evolves, Nigeria stands at a pivotal moment, with the opportunity to lead in production, value creation, and sustainable growth. #NMW25 #TeamPwC #Mining

Zambia’s Mining Future Lies in Exploration Partnerships Zambia remains one of Africa’s richest mining frontiers yet vast potential still lies unexplored. Many local license holders already possess credible exploration data (grade, tonnage, deposit shape) but lack the capital and technology to advance their projects. This opens a strong opportunity for investors to form joint ventures or equity partnerships and enter early, where returns are highest. The success stories of Kansanshi, Lumwana, and Kalumbila all began at the exploration stage proof that value in mining starts long before production. With a stable investment climate and rising global demand for copper, cobalt, gold, and lithium, Zambia offers a strategic gateway for forward-thinking investors. Now is the time to invest in exploration and unlock Zambia’s next mining success story. #ZambiaMining #MiningInvestment #ExplorationOpportunities #MiningPartnerships #SustainableMining #Copperbelt #AfricaInvestment #CriticalMinerals #MiningInZambia
