No 1 source of global mining news and opinion
Namibia’s ambitions to become a manufacturing hub for battery metals key to the global transition to clean energy will require huge investments in infrastructure to support processing facilities, mining executives said on Wednesday.
Namibia this year banned the export of unprocessed lithium and rare earth minerals as it seeks to profit from growing global demand for metals used in renewable energy. “Beneficiation gets bandied about quite freely without understanding the complexities. There needs to be a huge investment, concurrent with the development of these facilities, in infrastructure, specifically, water, power and logistics. Those big projects don’t happen overnight,” Viljoen said.
“These are very good examples of efficient, effective infrastructure that would be a huge benefit if it was to be installed, say, at Walvis Bay in Namibia. That would be a massive enabler for us to consider a Phase 2 plant within Namibia,” he said.
