"Africa has become the focal point in a tug-of-war over REE, battery minerals, and other critical minerals like copper, zinc and lead, creating opportunities for the continent to leverage its underground wealth."
"We have a strong track record of doing business in Zambia, Tanzania, Botswana and Namibia. However, localization requirements present challenges for foreign companies looking to undertake projects."
International investors demonstrate reinvigorated appetite for Africa’s mining prospects – from traditional partners like the Australians to a growing Chinese and Russian presence.
Québec and Atlantic Canada have traversed 2025 in an enviable position. Strong gold prices have buoyed balance sheets and investor sentiment, while global demand for critical minerals keeps the region firmly on the radar of international markets. At the same time, the provinces’ depth of mining expertise – from AI-driven exploration to advanced drilling, blasting, and geophysics – ensures that technological advantage is firmly on their side.
