Minerals intelligence
Critical minerals only create value at home when the rail, ports, power and processing around them exist. AfCEN links each mine to the infrastructure and policy it depends on.
What AfCEN tracks
- Mines, processing plants and their licences
- Rail and port capacity that moves minerals to market
- Local processing and value-addition policy
- Offtake, ownership and financing structures
- Environmental, social and governance exposure
