Namibia, EU, Agree on Partnership for Sustainable Raw Materials
Windhoek, Namibia —
Ahead of COP27, Namibian and European Union officials say they have reached an agreement for Namibia to export rare earth materials to the EU.
According to Erasmus Shivolo, commissioner of mines at Namibia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy, the EU is interested in developing the mining of minerals like lithium, cobalt and graphite, which are currently mined on a small scale in the country.
Per Shivolo, "The EU is the one saying, 'Well, Namibia has got certain minerals that are critical to the energy transition and therefore we want to explore opportunities in working together to develop projects in that space.' "

European countries are literally begging Namibia and other African countries for minerals, Africa is home to 70 percent of the world’s mineral reserves, It holds 65 percent of the world’s arable land and the largest reserves of cobalt, diamonds, platinum and uranium in the world are in Africa.
Africa is a blessed continent.
