Growing Middle East conflict disrupts aluminium and nickel supply chains in Asia with uncertainty over renewable energy's critical industrial metals. 4% of global aluminium supply is cut off due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

We’ve just updated our Page - logo.

More foreign institutional buyers are relying on us to find authentic metal producers and miners in Africa. We've had to align our branding to trust, identity, and transparency, which are some of our key values!

Nigeria has a chance to coordinate the formal mining, development, and supply chains of Africa's critical metals.

Congratulations.

I’ve been re-elected as Chairman of the Africa Minerals Strategy Group, and I’m grateful to my fellow ministers for the trust they’ve shown in me again. I was first elected in 2024 at the Future Minerals Forum, and this renewed mandate came at our 2026 AGM in Riyadh. The group has also agreed on a stronger leadership structure that reflects Africa’s regions, because inclusion and balance matter if we want this platform to work.

My focus remains that African countries must work together to get real value from our mineral resources. That means agreeing on basic contributions, being accountable to one another, and putting a proper budget framework in place so the AMSG can function credibly and effectively.

Beyond governance, I’ve been clear that minerals alone won’t transform our economies. We need infrastructure, aligned policies, and deliberate value addition. The real work is designing financing and governance that attract investment while supporting long-term growth, stability, and shared prosperity across the continent.

2025 results show Africa’s alumina capacity stagnant at 0.65 million tonnes. Guinea only operates one alumina refinery - the RUSAL’s Friguia plant, with 600,000 tonnes out put per year for Africa.

Guinea plans 6 new plants for 2030 with 7 million tonnes per year.

Metals markets face challenges as China rebalances into a demand and consumption-driven economy.

Beijing plans to reduce reliance on exports, increase consumer-focused stimulus, while cushioning the impacts of escalating trade war with the United States.

Deep alumina deficit in 2024 was up to 2 million mt causing higher prices for the raw material but lower margins for smelters.

Analysts project new refining capacity for bauxite and alumina in Asia could increase supply. Alumina price forecast averages $497/mt in 2025.
