Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "African Mining Directory 2017" directory to their offering.

Africa is central to mining investment. The continent enjoys an unrivalled wealth of mineral resources and investment opportunities. In response to the increasing demand for in-depth, mining-related information on Africa, API is launching the African Mining Directory.

Africa contains an estimated 30% of global mineral resources, including bauxite, cobalt, copper, chromite, gold, graphite, iron ore, manganese, nickel, phosphate, platinum-group metals (PGMs), potash, rare earth elements (REEs), and zircon - in addition to oil, gas, coal and diamonds. Natural resources have accounted for about 35% of Africa's growth since 2000. Nonetheless, international investors and mining companies remain cautious, owing to Africa's never-ending challenges: a lack of infrastructure, power, and education; political instability and corruption; complex mining codes and regulations; and health issues.

Africa's long-term potential is increasingly in the spotlight. It is the world's second-largest and second-most-populous continent after Asia, and the fastest growing part of the world - home to ten of the world's fifteen fastest growing economies. It is no wonder that Africa continues to attract considerable foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, with most greenfield FDI activity related to natural resources. China and India, in particular, have shown a growing appetite for African mineral resources.
