Africa's Critical Minerals Map

This map highlights countries where artisanal/small-scale mining (ASM) plays a high, medium, or low role in producing critical raw materials (CRMs) essential for batteries, tech, and renewables.

Key highlights (dark green = high relevance for at least one CRM):
DRC (Congo): Massive ASM hub #cobalt (world's top supplier), #copper, tin, tantalum, tungsten (3Ts).

Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania: Strong in #lithium (Li), manganese (Mn), 3Ts, other CRMs.

Ghana, Mali, Guinea: Significant ASM for #gold + emerging criticals (e.g., manganese).

Rwanda, Burundi: High in tin, tantalum, niobium (3Ts).

South Africa: #Platinum group metals (PGMs), manganese, chromium.

Nigeria, Ethiopia: Emerging lithium and other CRM potential.

Legend quick guide:
3Ts → Tin, Tantalum/Niobium, Tungsten
Li → Lithium
Cu → Copper (often with cobalt)
Mn → Manganese
CRM → Other criticals (baryte, beryllium, fluorspar, graphite, rare earths, etc.)

ASM produces a huge share of global supply for these #minerals often cheap, informal, and hard to regulate.

It feeds into global supply chains but raises issues like child labor, environmental damage, and traceability.

#Africa is the new frontier for the energy transition metals and ASM is driving much of it.

Will French #Bitcoin and #crypto holders soon be granted political refugee status in El Salvador by Nayib Bukele?

Between massive leaks of personal data, chronic judicial laxity, and rampant corruption…

France, economically bankrupt, is also experiencing a complete security collapse: four cases in four days and the world's number one ranking!

Its only response? To expose even more of its citizens' personal information.

The true meaning of being a successful #trader.

The US-China Commodities Cold War

on January 1st, 2026, #China formally elevated #silver to strategic material status, alongside tungsten and antimony. The timing wasn’t coincidental. The US Geological Survey had added silver to #America “critical minerals” list in November 2025.

China is Dumping Copper Abroad

Exports Hit Record Highs!

Chinese refined copper exports surged

Why?

Weak domestic demand (slow construction, property crisis) + strong refining output → massive surplus building up.

China, the world's top copper consumer, is now flooding the global market

#Copper #Commodities #China #Metals #OOTT

Rio Tinto + Glencore Mega-Merger?

A $260B+ monster that would create the world’s largest mining company

Combined Power (projected):

Iron Ore: 390–400 Mt/year → dominates global supply, huge pricing power over China's steel industry (rivals #BHP)

Copper: 1.2–1.3 Mt/year (Rio) + 1.5 Mt/year (Glencore) → world's top #copper producer, massive leverage in EVs & renewables

Aluminum: Full integrated chain (bauxite → alumina → aluminum) — strong pricing influence

Other metals: 110+ kt/y nickel, 1M+ kt/y zinc, 300+ kt/y lead

#coal : 100–110 Mt/year (metallurgical only)

Trading: Glencore's global network + Rio's assets = unmatched physical commodity trading powerhouse

Market Impact
China steel & energy transition: Massive pricing power
ESG/regulatory risk: Coal + environmental scrutiny could force asset sales or delays
Employees: 210,000+ globally
Operations: 35+ countries

This would be the biggest mining deal ever a true commodity superpower. Would regulators allow it?
Or will it get blocked like past attempts?

AI COMPUTE IS DOUBLING EVERY ~7 MONTHS

Here is how global AI compute capacity is distributed today:

• $NVDA controls ~65% & remains the backbone of AI training while also taking a growing share of inference as the stack moves from H100/H200 to B200/B300.
• $GOOGL controls ~15% with TPU v7 ramping quickly but this capacity is largely internal & not competing broadly in the open market.
• $AMZN controls ~10% through Trainium + Inferentia which are primarily used for cost controlled inference & AWS margin defense rather than replacing general purpose GPUs.
• $AMD controls ~5% with MI300X acting as a pressure valve when Nvidia supply is constrained.

Hyperscalers are scaling alternatives but Nvidia remains the default compute layer the entire AI economy still runs on.

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump CUTS OFF oil and money to CUBA, tells the Cuban regime, “make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE”

They are about to #FAFO 🔥🔥

“Cuba lived, for many years, on large amounts of OIL and MONEY from Venezuela. In return, Cuba provided “Security Services” for the last two Venezuelan dictators, BUT NOT ANYMORE! Most of those Cubans are DEAD from last weeks U.S.A. attack, and Venezuela doesn’t need protection anymore from the thugs and extortionists who held them hostage for so many years.”

“Venezuela now has the United States of America, the most powerful military in the World (by far!), to protect them, and protect them we will. THERE WILL BE NO MORE OIL OR MONEY GOING TO CUBA - ZERO! I strongly suggest they make a deal, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.”

🔥🚨BREAKING: New Jersey island that is currently owned by Venezuela, Petty’s Island, could soon belong to Trump donor.

Petty’s Island has been owned by Citgo Petroleum Corp., an arm of Venezuela’s national oil company, for decades — but recent international events and a court ruling have paved the way for investor and conservative donor Paul Singer’s Elliott Investment Management to take it over, the Philadelphia Inquirerreported.
