4. Historically African countries and people have not benefited sufficiently from Africa’s mineral wealth

5. Africa has changed greatly, politically, socially and economically over the last decades

6. The youth of today rightly have much higher expectations in terms of: - Jobs and opportunities - Governance, and - Development

7. Governments, business and civil society all have a role in ensuring these expectations are realised

8. Blessing or curse?

9. It is up to us African Mining Vision

10. Transparent, equitable and optimal exploitation of mineral resources to underpin broad-based sustainable growth and socio-economic development

11. Optimizing knowledge and benefits of finite mineral resources at all levels of mining and for all minerals; Harnessing the potential of small scale mining to improve livelihoods and integration into the rural and national economy; Fostering sustainable development principles based on environmentally and socially responsible mining, which is safe and includes communities and all other stakeholders; Building human and institutional capacities towards a knowledge economy that supports innovation, research and development; Developing a diversified and globally competitive African mineral industry which contributes to broad economic and social growth through the creation of economic linkages; Fostering a transparent and accountable mineral sector in which resource rents are optimized and utilized to promote broad economic and social development; Promoting good governance of the mineral sector in which communities and citizens participate in mineral assets and in which there is equity in the distribution of benefits Principals

20. Expert Group Consultative Meeting Day 3 Working together and the way forward Recommendations and next steps

21. Expert Group Consultative Meeting We need your advice, as an expert, on: Improving geological capacities Large scale data initiatives The technical design of AMGI “Billion Dollar Map” How to scale up geological mapping and exploration Geological data harmonisation and regional integration Bringing development thinking into geology

22. Expert Group Consultative Meeting Your advice will feed into: Recommendations on African concerns about AMGI (design and implementation) will be submitted to AUC Policy Organs for discussion and consideration A draft Geology and Minerals Information Systems Strategy for review A summary of EGCM discussions and recommendations AMDC work plan for Geology and Mineral Information Systems revised and updated – new activities initiated with partners
