Mineral resources are solid materials of economic value that occur naturally in or on the earth’s surface in which their quality and quantity support economic extraction (Stephenson et al.,2006; Joint Ore Reserves Committee,2012). They comprise mineralized zones in varying concentrations across rock...
Metallic mineral and coal production in Africa corresponded to nearly 4.5 percent of the continent's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2018. This declined from 7.1 percent in 2016. Notwithstanding the drop, mineral production value as a size of the region's economy generally increased. For instance...
