Angola has discovered niobium and fluorite, two critical minerals essential for clean energy and advanced manufacturing. Niobium strengthens steel and improves emissions in construction, while fluorite supports lithium-ion batteries and solar panels.

Backed by a $200 million investment, Angola aims to become a key player in the global critical minerals market. The country is actively participating in the 32nd Investing in African Mining Indaba in Cape Town, showcasing its mineral potential.

Angola Day will host the Angola Mining Business Forum, focusing on investment and legislative reforms. Up to $400 million is being mobilized for mining projects with involvement from global companies like Ivanhoe Mines and Rio Tinto.
