Travel restrictions, supply chain disruptions and risk aversion since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic have slammed the brakes on mining exploration in Africa, jeopardising the minerals supply pipeline.
Inward investment will be a key focus at the annual Investing in African Mining Indaba virtual conference to be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, with companies looking to capitalise on higher metals prices and the transition to green energy.
Without exploration, the continent’s rich mineral resources are at risk of being unutilised as older mines become unviable.

The business of minding superyachts
It s been a superyacht summer at the Opua wharf with a line-up of large and luxurious maritime craft sufficient to resemble a mini Monaco. Latest to arrive from Australia on Monday was the 37.19-metre motor yacht Masteka 2, built in Taiwan.
It was listed for sale late last year at a shade under AU$10 million ($10.7m), discounted at just over AU$2 million. It sold, but to whom is a mystery.
