Africa hosts amongst the best mineral deposits in the world. The continent represents 20% of the world’s land area but contains an estimated 30% of the mineral reserves (by value). This includes 40% of the gold, 60% of the diamonds and fully 90% of the world’s platinum group metals.
According to the International Finance Corp, however, Africa’s 53 countries are amongst the most diffi cult places in the world to establish a business. Nevertheless, mining companies can not pick and choose, they must follow the mineral deposits; and in this regard Africa is the place to be. Mining Journal's Africa Day investor seminar introduces some of the companies that have established successful businesses there.
All the Mining Journal Investor Days are free for investors to attend and will provide invaluable insights into these exciting sectors.
