Before knowing about the mining sector in Africa, we should know what is MINING?
Removal of minerals and metals from the earth is known as Mining. Some examples of what is mined are Copper, Manganese, tantalum, tin, nickel, bauxite, iron ore, gold, silver, and diamonds.
The mining sector consists of large multinational companies that are sustained by production from their mining operations. Several other industries such as equipment manufacture, environmental testing, and metallurgy analysis rely on and support the mining industry all over the world.
Africa has a large number of natural resources which including diamonds, cobalt, oil, natural gas, copper, and gold. This section will detail the broad range of natural resources and how they are mined, processed, and utilized.
Natural resources from Africa have unlimited practical applications, including industrial, manufacturing, medical, energy, and infrastructure development.
The materials we will observe here are all mined in Africa and are ever-present across the continent, they are largely supplied. From Nigeria to South Africa, Egypt to Ghana and everywhere in between, African resources are gaining increasing value in a world fuelled by commodity consumption.
