Africa’s mining narrative is rapidly evolving – and the latest release from @Mining Review Africa is capturing that transformation in full detail.
The publication has unveiled Issue 2 of its digimag, offering a deep dive into how the mining sector is positioning itself at the center of the global energy transition while responding to increasing pressure around sustainability and carbon reduction.
As global demand for critical minerals intensifies, the issue explores how mining companies across Africa are balancing production growth with environmental responsibility, while also driving socio-economic development in host communities.
A standout feature in this edition is the cover story on @Sulzer, which highlights the company’s role in managing operational risk across complex mining environments – an increasingly critical capability as projects scale in size and complexity.
The issue also shines a spotlight on the @Africa Gold Council, underscoring its role in strengthening governance, transparency, and growth across Africa’s gold value chain.
From a project development perspective, the publication tracks key assets shaping West Africa’s mining future, including the Assafou project by @Endeavour Mining, positioned as a major driver of organic growth for the company.
Energy remains a central theme, with the “Powering the Pit” feature examining the persistent infrastructure gap – particularly transmission challenges – that continues to limit mining productivity across the continent.
In South Africa, the @Council for Geoscience is highlighted for its work in advancing critical minerals exploration, while @SLR Consulting contributes insights into responsible mining frameworks aimed at empowering artisanal and small-scale miners.
As Africa’s mining ecosystem matures, the issue positions itself as essential reading for investors, operators, and policymakers seeking to stay ahead of industry shifts.
