Qu'en est-il de l'accord entre la RDC et les États-Unis sur les minerais stratégiques ? Début février, les deux pays se sont retrouvés pour un premier comité de pilotage. La RDC produit plus de 70% du cobalt mondial, utilisé notamment pour les batteries électriques. Cet accord entre Washington et Kinshasa était évidemment au cœur du Mining Indaba qui a eu lieu la semaine dernière au Cap. De notre envoyé spécial au Cap, Le ministre des Mines congolais, Louis Watum Kabamba, se défend de « brader » le potentiel minier de la RDC en signant cet accord sur les minerais stratégiques avec Washington. Aux dernières nouvelles, la balle est dans le camp américain, qui analyse une liste de projets transmise par Kinshasa : « Il y a toute une panoplie de projets pour lesquels nous avons arrêté une liste convenue avec les États-Unis. Quand je dis projets, il n'y a pas que dans les mines. Dans l'agriculture, dans l'énergie, dans l'assistance technique, etc. Cette liste va être mise au-devant du secteur privé américain pour que les parties intéressées puissent se prononcer dans un bref délai. Peut-être dans les prochains jours ou les prochaines semaines. Nous nous mettrons ensemble maintenant pour aller dans ces projets et voir comment nous pouvons structurer des partenariats et des financements. » Dans les projets qui paraissent avancés et qui font grand bruit : les 40% d'actifs que Glencore pourrait céder aux Américains. Un plan pour « soutenir les ambitions du gouvernement américain avec l'approvisionnement en deux minerais critiques », selon l'entreprise. On parle ici de cobalt et de cuivre. « Glencore ne se retire pas. Si un accord est conclu, nous avons pleinement l'intention d'être majoritaires et de conserver le contrôle. Il s'agit en réalité d'un signe de confiance de la part des investisseurs américains soutenus par l'État américain concernant les actifs de cuivre en RDC », précise Mark Davis, le PDG de Glencore en Afrique. À lire aussiAccord sur les minerais États-Unis-RDC: de quels projets parle-t-on? Les banques locales, un acteur stratégique Sur le terrain, les acteurs financiers sont en ordre de bataille. Même si ces accords sont encore très opaques, Jean-Eric Matunga, de la Rawbank, précise le rôle des banques locales congolaises. Le directeur en charge des financements structurels était à Washington en octobre dernier. « Le dialogue est permanent entre les investisseurs, les acteurs locaux et les banques. On joue notre rôle d'intermédiaire d'une manière assez poussée. Parce que ces capitaux, qui viennent vers la RDC, il faut pouvoir les orienter, mais il faut pouvoir aussi les structurer en fonction des réalités locales, mais aussi des connaissances de la réglementation. C'est là que les banques locales jouent un rôle clé de catalyseur et de connecteur entre ces capitaux qui doivent venir pour pouvoir les structurer et les rendre potables à la réalité locale », explique Jean-Eric Matunga. « On a des clients du secteur privé avec qui nous connectons les investisseurs américains, surtout pour pouvoir combler la phase de financement pendant la partie d'exploration avant le développement de la mine, qui est une phase critique », précise encore cet acteur bancaire. Si beaucoup d'acteurs du secteur s'enthousiasment de ces discussions avec Washington, dans le cadre du processus de paix entre la RDC et le Rwanda, aucun accord n'a jusqu'ici permis de mettre fin aux combats sur le terrain.

Rome Resources Plc (AIM:RMR, FRA:33R) CEO Paul Barrett talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest high-grade tin drilling results at the Kalayi project in the Democratic Republic of Congo, highlighting increasing intercept widths and improving hit rates beneath the maiden resource. Barrett explained that recent drilling has delivered multiple significant intercepts, including multimetre intervals grading around 3% tin and up to 7.5% tin. He noted that historically, there were only two intercepts greater than two metres at over 2% tin, whereas in the latest seven holes, five have delivered comparable or stronger results. “We are increasing the hit rate… and we're certainly increasing the widths of the intercept as we go,” he said, adding that the company is “seeing greater widths, and with really good cassiterite numbers within them.” He also discussed the geological similarities between Kalayi and Alphamin's nearby Mpama mine, located just eight kilometres away. According to Barrett, the style of cassiterite mineralisation and vein structures appears “very, very similar,” with Kalayi's latest holes returning grades comparable to Mpama North. Addressing tin prices and development strategy, Barrett said the company's long-term plan is for Kalayi ore to be processed through the Alphamin facility at Bisie. While short-term price fluctuations may occur, he emphasised the structural supply-demand fundamentals: “The longer term demand is there, and there is a supply gap out in the next few years.” Barrett also shared insights from Mining Indaba, noting growing optimism around critical minerals and increased investment interest in the DRC.

Après des mois d'interruption, les exportations de cobalt de RDC ont repris, mais à un rythme toujours insuffisant pour répondre aux besoins. Suite à la mise en place de quotas d'exportation mi-octobre, les prix du sulfate de cobalt ont grimpé de 66 % en Chine. Ce que montre l'augmentation des prix du sulfate de cobalt, un des produits issus du raffinage du minerai, c'est que les prix, qui avaient grimpé quand les exportations ont été interdites il y a un an, ne sont pas retombés après la fin de l'interdiction. Car cette reprise sous forme de quotas alloués à chacune des 21 entreprises minières concernées en RDC a immédiatement été perçue comme insuffisante. Le manque s'est confirmé, puisque la mise en œuvre du régime de quotas s'est révélée compliquée et a empêché les volumes alloués au dernier trimestre 2025 d'être exécutés. Le premier camion chargé de cobalt n'aurait finalement quitté le pays que début janvier, selon les informations de l'Institut du cobalt. Au total, pour le premier mois de 2026, seulement une cinquantaine de camions auraient quitté le pays, selon le suivi de Project Blue. « L'organisme de réglementation minière Arecoms ne dispose que d'une poignée d'employés pour effectuer les analyses de l'hydroxyde, ce qui retarde le transport par camion », explique Chris Welch, analyste du marché du cobalt pour Argus Media. ll précise que la hausse des prix du cuivre a également incité les entreprises à privilégier l'exportation de cuivre plutôt que de cobalt par camion. À lire aussiLa RDC organise un forum d'investissement en marge du Mining Indaba en Afrique du Sud Marché déficitaire ? Avec ce nouveau régime de quota en RDC, et le flou qui l'entoure, le marché va rester tendu en ce début d'année, d'autant que le cobalt actuellement expédié n'arrivera probablement pas avant avril ou mai en Chine, pays qui dispose de l'essentiel des capacités de raffinage. Selon l'Institut du cobalt, le marché mondial, hors RDC, en déficit de 53 000 tonnes en 2025, pourrait le rester encore en 2026. Avant de revoir sa stratégie d'exportation, la RDC fournissait les deux tiers du marché mondial, ce qui veut dire que même si l'Indonésie, un autre fournisseur majeur, extrait de plus en plus de minerai – et passe de 21 % de part de marché en 2025 à 35 % en 2026 –, cela ne suffit pas à combler le fossé laissé par la réduction des exportations congolaises. Selon Project Blue, les stocks d'hydroxyde de cobalt en Chine devraient être, fin janvier, de 30 à 40 000 tonnes, et ne devraient donc pas permettre de satisfaire la demande intérieure au-delà de trois mois. Ce n'est qu'à partir du deuxième trimestre que les tensions sur le marché vont donc commencer à s'atténuer, mais les prix pourraient se maintenir à un niveau élevé jusqu'à la fin de l'année puisque le quota annuel d'exportation fixé par la RDC est pour l'instant plafonné à la moitié des niveaux historiques habituels. À lire aussiLes obstacles à l'exportation du cobalt congolais pèsent sur le marché mondial Ralentissement de la croissance de la demande Ce qui va peut-être éviter que les prix ne flambent plus, c'est une hausse plus modeste que prévu de la demande. L'achat de véhicules électriques aux États-Unis est revu à la baisse en raison de la suppression depuis septembre dernier d'un crédit d'impôt de 7500 dollars. Le secteur américain va toujours croître mais de manière modeste (de 3 % en 2025 et de 7 % en 2026). En Europe aussi les ventes de véhicules électriques et donc de batteries ne sont pas à la hauteur des prévisions initiales. Au vu du contexte, l'Institut du cobalt alerte sur un risque d'effondrement de la demande à l'horizon 2027. Une façon peut-être de prévenir ceux qui tiennent le marché qu'à trop restreindre l'offre, ils pourraient indirectement encourager le développement de batteries sans cobalt et provoquer une baisse des besoins.

Le Mining Indaba prend fin ce jeudi 12 février 2026. Pendant 4 jours, le secteur minier s'est retrouvé au Cap, en Afrique du Sud. Une grande rencontre annuelle entre les gouvernements africains et les investisseurs du monde entier. La Côte d'Ivoire a profité de l'événement pour mettre en avant ses récentes découvertes de gisements d'or, alors que le métal jaune a récemment franchi le seuil historique des 5 000 dollars. Avec notre envoyé spécial au Cap, Valentin Hugues Au Mining Indaba, la Côte d'Ivoire diffuse un chiffre sur écran géant : « La production d'or brut ivoirien a quadruplé en 10 ans ». Si le secteur est encore dominé par le Ghana, au Cap, le président de la Chambre des mines de Côte d'Ivoire, Yacouba Diarra, affiche de grandes ambitions. « Nous pensons que la Côte d'Ivoire a tout le potentiel pour devenir un leader régional », explique-t-il. Pour lui, « le contexte géologique ouest-africain est favorable aux gisements aurifères et la Côte d'Ivoire détient au moins 35% de cet espace-là ». « Avec tous les efforts en cours, poursuit-il, avec toutes les réformes menées par le ministère pour attirer les investisseurs, nous pensons qu'à moyen terme, la Côte d'Ivoire sera très loin, au niveau régional, et ensuite sur le continent. » La Guinée affiche des ambitions similaires et souhaite ouvrir la plus grosse raffinerie d'or du continent. Une course motivée par un cours de l'or qui atteint des niveaux records. Fin janvier, le métal jaune a passé la barre historique des 5 000 dollars, notamment parce que l'or est une valeur refuge face aux incertitudes suscitées par la politique trumpienne. Vers une augmentation des royalties de l'État ? Des conditions favorables dont la Côte d'Ivoire compte bien tirer profit, notamment avec la découverte en juin dernier d'un nouveau gisement dont les réserves sont évaluées à 100 tonnes d'or. Pour Seydou Coulibaly, le directeur général du ministère des Mines, « la révolution industrielle minière au niveau de la Côte d'Ivoire est une réalité ». Et parce que le secteur se porte bien, certains spéculent sur une possible augmentation des royalties que touche l'État ivoirien, en les élevant de 8 à 12%. Seydou Coulibaly ne confirme pas ce chiffre, « mais vu l'embellie du prix, explique-t-il, il peut arriver que l'État souhaite échanger avec le secteur privé. » Mais « pour l'heure, on n'est pas encore rendus à ce niveau », assure-t-il. La flambée du cours de l'or intéresse aussi la Chine, qui a récemment lancé une offensive majeure sur l'or ouest-africain, avec le rachat de plusieurs mines au Mali, ou encore, en Côte d'Ivoire.

KEFI Gold and Copper PLC (AIM:KEFI, OTC:KFFLF, FRA:KMSA) executive chairman Harry Anagnostaras-Adams talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about closing the company's full US$340 million project financing following a US$20 million investment from Chancery Royalty, marking what he described as a confirmatory milestone rather than a fundamental change in strategy. Speaking from the Mining Indaba in Cape Town, Anagnostaras-Adams explained that bank approvals secured in October covered 70% of development capital, allowing KEFI to optimise the remaining equity components. He highlighted that the company structured the financing largely at the subsidiary level, reducing dilution at the parent company. The latest US$20 million funding was arranged as an “equity ranking royalty,” designed so that payments are only made when dividends are payable to shareholders. “A conventional royalty gets paid before operating expenses… this has been deliberately positioned so that it only gets paid when dividends can get paid,” he said, emphasising alignment with shareholder interests. The project, valued at approximately US$400 million, has been financed in a way that minimised equity dilution, including contractor arrangements that reduced capital requirements to US$340 million and the participation of a major development bank for US$240 million. Discussing valuation, Anagnostaras-Adams noted the stock has tripled over the past six months and said benchmarking against similar-stage gold companies suggests further potential upside, although he stressed that market movements are outside management's control. At Indaba, KEFI has been meeting contractors, capital providers, insurers and government representatives as mobilisation begins. “We've pressed the button, we're launching fully,” he said, describing activity across site locations and contractor hubs globally.

In this interview, Zak Mir speaks with Fulcrum Metals CEO Ryan Mee about the company's progress in reprocessing a legacy gold mine in Canada, recent TR1 filings showing increased investor activity, and what lies ahead for the company.Fulcrum has boosted gold recovery from around 59% to over 70%, now also recovering silver, using a zero-cyanide, zero-waste process with six-hour leach times. Recent drilling has lifted gold-equivalent grades by 8% to 0.7 g/t, supporting a mineral resource estimate expected in early 2026.Fulcrum Metals has quietly been reshaping its story: moving from a conventional explorer to a technology‑led developer focused on recovering gold and critical minerals from historic tailings. Recent test results, shareholder activity and a tightening register have put the company on the map. Here's what matters and why this transition could be significant for the company and the wider mining sector.Mining Indaba in Cape Town - from Feb 9–12.Fulcrum Metals' senior management will be in Cape Town from February 9–12 for the Mining Indaba conference. If you'd like to meet and learn more about our environmentally friendly tailings reprocessing strategy, please get in touch.Why the pivot to tailings mattersTailings projects tap previously mined material rather than digging new pits. That has three immediate advantages: Lower environmental footprint — using existing material reduces disturbance and can avoid new land clearances. Faster access to ounces — infrastructure and mineral concentrations are already known, which shortens timelines. Opportunity to recover multiple metals — tailings often contain not only gold but also silver and critical elements that were not recovered economically in the past. The Extrakt technology: cleaner, simpler, scalableFulcrum has partnered with a proprietary process referred to as Extrakt. The core claims are simple but powerful: a single process that is zero cyanide and zero waste, capable of recovering gold alongside valuable co‑products such as tellurium, gallium and silver. Located in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada. Part of the Teck-Hughes historic gold mine. Milled circa 9.6 million tonnes of ore and produced circa 3.7 million ounces of gold between 1917 and 1968. Project consists of 7 mining claims over 112 hectares Working with Extrakt to use its technology to sustainability extract gold from the Teck-Hughes' tailings. Early bench testing delivered initial gold recoveries around 59%. More recent Phase 3 testwork has produced results in excess of 70% for both gold and silver, with further optimisation underway. In addition, extended leach testing is targeting critical minerals such as tellurium and gallium — potentially transforming the economics by increasing the project's gold‑equivalent grade.Phase 3 and the rise of co‑productsPhase 3 is the pivotal study for Fulcrum. The company has already flagged preliminary Phase 3 results and expects further announcements in the near term. Key takeaways: Higher recoveries — movement from ~59% to +70% indicates the process is maturing. Co‑product potential — tellurium, gallium and silver could materially boost gold‑equivalent grades and project NPV. Zero cyanide, zero waste — if the claims hold at scale, this could be a disruptive environmental and permitting advantage. Market response and share register dynamicsThe market has noticed the progress. Share price momentum pushed the company near one‑year highs and produced notable insider and institutional activity. Several TR1 filings showed increases from investors including Metals One, Nick Nugent and Ian Bagnell, amounting to just over 26% combined. Directors retain roughly 19% of the register, tightening ownership and aligning incentives.At the time of reporting, the stock was up about 30.51% year‑to‑date, with a market capitalisation of around £11.09m. That performance suggests growing investor appetite for technology‑driven, lower‑impact resource plays.Valuation perspective and upside potentialThe company's projects host an estimated 200,000 ounces of gold. Using a bullish gold price reference quoted by management (~US$5,000/oz at the time), the in‑situ metal value can look large on paper. That said, there are important caveats: Resource estimates need to be converted into economic reserves. Process performance at bench scale must be proven in pilot and commercial operations. Recovery of co‑products and their marketability will materially influence economics. In short: the combination of a credible resource base plus a potentially disruptive extraction method creates meaningful upside if the technology scales and regulatory, permitting and commercial hurdles are cleared.What to watch next Phase 3 final results — confirmation of sustained >70% recoveries and consistent co‑product yields. Pilot test plans — announcement of pilot or demonstration plant timelines and budgets. Commercial agreements — off‑take, offtake partnerships for co‑products, or licensing deals for the Extract process. Register movements — further institutional interest or increased insider holdings that signal confidence. Bottom lineFulcrum Metals is positioning itself as more than a gold explorer. By combining tailings assets with a zero‑cyanide extraction method and the prospect of multiple recoverable metals, the company is aiming to offer a cleaner, faster route to value. The next tranche of Phase 3 results and any pilot‑scale confirmations will be the most important value inflection points to watch.

In this morning's briefing, Alec Hogg unpacks a volatile geopolitical landscape where conflicting reports emerge from Iran—Donald Trump claims de-escalation while internal memos suggest mass casualties. We speak to Iranian-born and bred entrepreneur and former UCT Economics Prof Iraj Abedian, who delivers a scathing critique of the South African government's silence on human rights abuses in Iran. On the markets, the South African Rand resilience continues, strengthening to R16.42 against the Dollar. Sasol enjoys a great few days, up 17% for the week, while cracks in the MTN share price surge take a hit on Iran exposure fears.

Key Topics & Highlights: Market Snapshot: The Rand holds recent gains at R16.42/$; Gold dips slightly while Bitcoin holds firm at $95,750. Stock Movers: Sasol climbs another 5.5% (best performer among large caps); MTN falls 70% over the last year (down 2.3% yesterday) due to Iran exposure; US banking stocks (Wells Fargo, Citi) slide on earnings. The Iran Crisis: Conflicting narratives between the White House and reports on the ground. Dr. Iraj Abedian Interview: A powerful discussion on why the SA government is maintaining relations with a regime Abedian describes as the "Nazis of the 21st Century," and whether this violates South Africa's own constitutional mandate. US Politics: Trump's latest comments on Greenland and Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Mining Indaba Preview: Peter Major discusses the "US vs China" battle for critical minerals and the unique opportunity for South Africa to secure Western investment.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Bernard Swanepoel, Chair of the Joburg Indaba and former mining executive, about key takeaways from Day One - from how global geopolitics are reshaping South Africa’s mining landscape and the renewed importance of PGMs and gold, to what’s on the agenda tomorrow, including coal’s evolving role, reviving diamond mining, updates on Eskom and Transnet, and investor confidence ahead of the Minister’s address. In other interviews, Dion Chang, CEO and Co-founder of FluxTrends, unpacks how social media may have reached its breaking point as platforms drown in outrage and AI-generated content. Chang reflects on whether September 2025 marks the moment social media “jumped the shark,” shifting from a space for connection to a noisy digital wasteland. With Meta and OpenAI launching new AI-driven video platforms, he questions whether users really want more synthetic content - or if they’re turning away in search of authenticity.

In this episode, we chat with Warren Beech, CEO at Beech Veltman, a leading mining, natural resources and energy focused law firm with a specialist team in mining, infrastructure, and natural resources. Warren is a highly accomplished and recognised mining, natural resources, infrastructure, and environmental law specialist. He provides multi-disciplinary legal and related services to the mining industry which includes health and safety, environment, anti-bribery and corruption / human rights, fair employment practices, community and social aspects, Black Economic Empowerment and transformation. He covers some of these topics above and discusses the challenges that the African mining industry is facing from many different angles. He will be also attending the Mining Indaba in February so be sure to reach out to him if you have any questions. KEY TAKEAWAYS The African mining industry faces systemic challenges such as regulatory uncertainty, infrastructure issues, and energy supply constraints. Political changes and the demand for greater citizen participation in mineral wealth are also significant factors impacting the sector. Compliance with safety regulations is crucial, and understanding the human impact of mining accidents can drive better safety outcomes. The approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices in mining has often become a tick-box exercise, which undermines its effectiveness. A more substantive approach is needed to ensure that ESG principles genuinely contribute to sustainability and community well-being. The Stilfontein illegal mining crisis highlights the socioeconomic drivers behind illegal mining activities, which are often linked to poverty and unemployment. Addressing these root causes and facilitating small-scale mining licensing could help mitigate the issue of illegal mining. BEST MOMENTS "The biggest challenge at the moment in Africa and the mining sector are the changes that are happening all along... political change is going to be one of the key themes for 2025." "Illegal mining has been around for a long time... What is unique and new about it is just the sheer scale of it." "If we were able to make it easier for small-scale miners to get licensed, then you'll start pushing out the illegal miners." "Health and safety is critical... The adoption of the zero harm principle is vital. I mean, everybody must be able to go home safely every day."
