Mining operations in Sub-Saharan Africa faced multiple challenges from the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenge have included:
- restrictions on the movement of employees
- frequent holds on capital expenditure
- delays in the delivery of equipment and supplies to customers.
Despite these challenges, the mining sector has displayed resilience. In the last quarter of 2020, mining jurisdictions across Southern Africa applied a gradual easing of restrictions.
Most mining activities in Southern Africa and West Africa have returned to full production. Many mine sites are now looking for technology solutions to reduce costs. This demand accelerates opportunities for Australian METS companies.
