Summary:
- Africa should pursue economic, mineral and energy sovereignty in order to reduce foreign dependence and fully harvest its mineral wealth.
- A resource leverage strategy is key to shifting Africa from a raw material exporter to a value-added industrial hub, strengthening its role in global supply chains.
- By strategically renegotiating mining contracts and by linking mineral access to reciprocal agreements on technology sharing and industrial investment, the resource leverage strategy can unlock industrial development.
- A well-executed resource leverage strategy positions Africa as a key player in the global energy transition while securing long-term economic and developmental benefits.
- AMREC-PARC enhances resource estimation and valuation, thereby increasing investor confidence and reducing reliance on capital markets such as the London Metal Exchange and the New York Mercantile Exchange.
- By adopting AMREC-PARC, Africa strengthens its position as a key emerging market in global mining, advancing mineral, energy and economic sovereignty.
- Achieving mineral and economic sovereignty is not only a moral imperative but a strategic necessity for global sustainability and equitable prosperity.
