Copper Exploration in the Copperbelt | MINROM

Copper demand is rising, but Copperbelt projects still need more than market interest to move forward. Clean exploration data, targeted drilling, defensible resource models, feasibility inputs, and clear reporting pathways will shape which projects are ready for funding, review, and development.

JORC 2026 Readiness for Junior Miners | MINROM

JORC 2026 may still be under review, but junior miners can prepare now. Strong technical data, clear Competent Person inputs, complete Table 1 responses, and well-tested project assumptions can help reduce reporting delays and build investor confidence.

Lobito Corridor and Copperbelt Project Economics | MINROM

The Lobito Corridor may improve Copperbelt logistics and project economics, but infrastructure alone does not make a project viable. Project owners still need reliable geology, updated feasibility work, resource modelling, ESG baselines, and realistic transport assumptions to understand whether corridor access strengthens the development case.

The 7 Stages of a Mining Project

Mining projects move through clear technical stages, from early concept and discovery to feasibility, development, production, and closure. Each stage requires different evidence, data quality, study work, and review before a project can move forward with confidence.

Why DRC Mining Week Matters for Critical Minerals | MINROM

DRC Mining Week highlights the DRC’s growing role in critical minerals, but project success will depend on more than resource potential. Strong technical data, infrastructure planning, hydrogeological evidence, governance alignment, and investor-ready project assumptions will shape which projects can move forward.

Why WAMPEX Matters for West African Mining and Power | MINROM

WAMPEX 2026: What It Signals for Mining and Power Development in West Africa The West African Mining and Power Expo (WAMPEX) is a long-running mining and power exhibition based in Ghana. WAMPEX 2026 brought mining, energy, government, investment, and supplier networks together in Accra from 3 to 5 June 2026. Its theme, “How Can Responsible […]

Mine Water Management and Hydrogeology in Africa | MINROM

Mine water management is a key part of responsible project planning in African mining. MINROM supports hydrogeological assessment, groundwater modelling, dewatering strategy, monitoring design, and closure planning to help project owners understand and manage water-related risk.

Rare Earth Exploration in Africa | MINROM

Africa’s rare earth projects are gaining attention as supply chains look beyond China, but geology alone is not enough. Project owners need reliable exploration data, mineralogical testing, processing evidence, environmental work, and investor-ready reporting to move REE projects forward.

Africa’s Energy Transition Minerals: From Geological Endowment to Investable Projects

Over the next two decades, clean energy systems, electric vehicles and grid upgrades will require far more metals than today. Analysts talk about trillions of dollars in new investment and rising demand for cobalt, copper, lithium, manganese, graphite and a range of rare earth elements. Many of those are present in significant volumes under African ground.
