Africa’s Minerals
“Africa is the world’s top producer of numerous mineral commodities and has the world’s greatest resources of many more, but most of Africa still lacks systematic geological mapping which could bring to light a much greater resource base. Unfortunately, most of Africa’s minerals are exported as ores, concentrates or metals, without significant value addition. There is thus a large potential for mineral beneficiation. Africa also has significant known resources of fossil fuels (oil, gas, and coal) and has large biomass and bio-fuels potential (ethanol, bio-diesel), especially in the tropics.
