Critical Raw Materials (Attendance)

Overview

Unlock the critical materials value chain for the energy transition. This intensive short course equips professionals across mining and allied industries—as well as bankers, economists and policy strategists involved in mineral assessments and trading—with practical, decision-ready insight. You explore the global critical metals landscape with a strong Africa focus; compare deposit models and mineralisation styles; and connect geology to exploration, mine planning, valuation and market viability. Through hands-on predictive geometallurgy you model ore variability, forecast processing performance and strengthen mine-to-market decisions. We examine supply-demand dynamics, costs and price drivers, ESG risks and governance for responsible sourcing. Ideal for mineral resource practitioners, mine planners, geologists, mine valuators, mining business-intelligence teams, metal accountants and mine surveyors, the course builds capability to evaluate projects, de-risk investments and inform strategy in batteries, EVs and energy storage. Graduates leave able to interrogate data, critique models and communicate actionable recommendations for Africa and global markets.
