NMA Board Chairman Urges Russian Mining Companies to Invest in Africa Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sierra Leone’s National Minerals Agency has highlighted Sub-Saharan Africa’s critical mineral wealth as an unparalleled opportunity for economic growth, driven by the rising global demand for minerals essential to clean energy technology. Alhaji Mustapha Turay was speaking at the First Ministerial Conference of the Russia-Africa Partnership Forum in Sochi, where several mining ministers from across Africa and world-class mining companies gathered. The NMA Chairman began by sharing the nation’s rich mining history, which stretches back to diamond mining in the 1930s, and its vast reserves of critical minerals. These resources include iron ore, gold, lithium, nickel, and rare earth elements, all of which are central to emerging technologies in electric vehicles, solar energy, and battery production. With Sub-Saharan Africa estimated to hold about 30% of global proven critical mineral reserves, the region is poised to become a key player in the energy transition,” he noted. This shift to clean energy is projected to raise global demand for minerals like lithium tenfold and for nickel and cobalt by two- to threefold between now and 2050, according to the International Energy Agency. Alhaji Mustapha Turay emphasized that Sub-Saharan Africa could capture over 10% of the estimated $16 trillion in revenues from key minerals such as copper, nickel, cobalt, and lithium over the next 25 years. He added that this revenue could potentially boost the region’s GDP by 12% or more by 2050. Highlighting Sierra Leone's potential role in this landscape, Chairman Turay detailed the recent granting of exploration licenses to reputable companies for lithium and nickel, key components of electric batteries. He stressed that the economic rewards could be even greater if Africa looks beyond exporting raw minerals, advocating for value-added processing within the region. For example, he pointed out that raw bauxite fetches just $65 per ton, whereas processed aluminum commands over $2,300 per ton, underscoring the importance of building local processing industries. He urged a regional strategy to make Africa more attractive for investment in mineral processing, leveraging the diversity of critical minerals spread across the continent. With a growing population, urbanization, and increased demand for renewable energy, the Chairman believes that Sub-Saharan Africa is well-positioned to expand its mineral processing capacity, supported by initiatives like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). A regional approach to processing and infrastructure will reduce trade barriers, attract more investors, and create robust value chains,” he said. This vision includes regional infrastructure, such as a potential rail and port system jointly developed by Sierra Leone and Guinea, and a centralized aluminum smelter for bauxite. https://lnkd.in/dWpaHWhe

[WATCH] The Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber, Mr. NJ Ayuk JD, MBA., recently spoke with CNBC Africa’s Keamogetswe Mosepele at #AfricanEnergyWeek, offering valuable insights on the event and the impressive growth the conference has achieved over the years. Mr. Ayuk highlighted that attendance at #AEW2024 has doubled compared to last year, with twice as many deals signed and a significant increase in engagement from both African and international communities. Mr. Ayuk also underscored Africa’s readiness for investment, pointing out that the continent is seeing an influx of bankable projects. He emphasized that Africans must maintain this momentum, as now is the time to advance exploration, boost production, monetize Africa’s natural gas resources, and fulfil the promises made by the African Energy Chamber. Natural gas plays a crucial role in the global energy landscape. While renewable energy is a global goal, natural gas serves as an essential bridge in the energy transition, especially as the world sometimes reverts to coal during energy shortages.

Our Executive Chairman Mr. NJ Ayuk JD, MBA. pens down concerns around the fierce urgency of African Energy Banks. For more than a year, the African Energy Chamber (AEC) has been pushing back against continually building pressure to halt new foreign investments in Africa's #oil and #gas industry. We have explained, over and over, why African countries, businesses, and communities still need support from international oil companies (#IOCs), foreign governments, and investment institutions for oil and gas projects. The AEC is calling upon African states and the private sector to fund the African Energy Bank, an institution which is focused on funding African energy projects. The African Petroleum Producers’ Organization (APPO) and the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) have paved the way. The idea is to create funding sources for all types of African energy — from #oil and #gas exploration to solar and hydrogen operations — so that projects will not be dependent on foreign support.

The African Energy Chamber (AEC) led by Executive Chairman NJ Ayuk JD, MBA. – met with Sonangol CEO Sebastião Gaspar Martins in Luanda this week, where the parties discussed Sonangol’s vision for the oil and gas industry. Martins is speaking at the African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energy conference this November – Africa’s premier energy event, hosted in Cape Town. The AEC believes that Sonangol is a strategic partner for Angola’s oil and gas industry and will continue to play a major role in facilitating investment and driving project developments. With a focus on expanding exploration and production, the company plays a critical role in Angola’s efforts to boost its oil and gas industry and bolster economic growth. Angola aims to produce 1.1 million barrels of oil per day (bpd) by 2027, with plans to reach two million bpd in the long-term. At the same time, the country aims to increase the share of natural gas in the energy mix to 25% by 2025, highlighting strategic opportunities for foreign investors and project developers. To achieve these goals, the country’s NOC Sonangol has undergone a transformation – underpinned by a privatization initiative spearheaded by the government. Now, Sonangol has emerged as a strong and reliable partner for oil and gas companies, and is committed to ushering in a new era of economic growth on the back of oil and gas development.

Africa plays host to the largest deposits of critical minerals in the world worth over 406 billion dollars. What are the ethical and responsible approaches to attract foreign investors?

I had the unique opportunity to share my perspective on the essential policies needed to facilitate a just energy transition in Africa and their potential impact on manufacturing.

According to Heineken Lokpobiri, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil) of Nigeria, “Africa is a victim. We cannot call on Africa to transition – transition from what? If those who are responsible for overnight emissions are still ramping up production, they have no right to call on Africa to stop producing. Africa struggles with energy poverty and our oil and gas resources will enable us to finance the development of other sectors, including wind, hydro and solar.” #AEW2024

The AEC is proud to see organizations such as APPO and Afreximbank taking concrete steps towards financing African energy projects. Despite ongoing pressure to relinquish fossil fuel financing and redirect capital towards renewables, these organizations are promoting a just transition in Africa – one that prioritizes Africa’s development and recognizes the role oil and gas plays. The Africa Energy Bank will play a catalyzing role in expanding the energy industry in Africa while driving sustainable and equitable growth for the continent’s population. https://lnkd.in/dciH-jJ6
