SECTOR 02 / 12Official Action Briefing

Mining & Mineral Beneficiation

Green mining technologies, local smelting, critical minerals processing (lithium, cobalt, copper), and environmental ESG.

Strategic Action Mandate

Moving from raw ore export to local value addition. ACCBCF facilitates joint ventures in critical energy transition minerals, mineral smelting complexes, and environmental remediation to guarantee sustainable resource industrialization.

Designated Committee:ACCBCF Mining & Metallurgy Committee

Local Value Addition Strategy

Mandating that raw unrefined ores be retained in Africa for local processing, generating sovereign royalties, high-skilled industrial jobs, and guaranteed supply of cathode materials.

Institutional China-Africa Value Chain Upgrading

Bilateral Cooperation Mechanism

Sovereign mineral concession pacts, off-take agreement financing, and joint mining investment sub-funds.

Policy & Regulatory Alignment:

Aligned with African Minerals Development Centre (AMDC) Africa Mining Vision and bilateral Critical Raw Material Strategic Accords.

Focus Areas
