Why it matters
The firm's interest comes amid African governments tightening control over mining sectors by revising mining codes, raising royalties, and demanding greater local participation. This capital flow is contrasted with Latin America, which has generally maintained more stable fiscal and permitting regimes.
Growth centers are shifting towards regions including Africa, Vietnam, and Latin America.
