• The implementation of Nigeria's mining center development strategy is reshaping the mineral processing pattern in Africa. The country relies on abundant mineral resources such as lead, gold, silver, and copper, implements the policy of "no processing, no export of minerals", and constructs a complete value chain from mining to deep processing. At present, it has attracted over 1.3 billion US dollars from Chinese enterprises to invest in the construction of lithium processing facilities, supporting transportation and green energy infrastructure, promoting the transformation of the industry from raw material exports to high value-added products, and providing a new paradigm for the localization and value-added of mineral resources in Africa.Editor/Bian Wenjun
