Diversification Opportunity--Use Rl8-trillion 100-year minerals diversification - Abedian

摘要

South Africa's $2.5-trillion worth of metals and minerals to be mined in the next 100 years provide an opportunity for the country to diversify its economy for the benefit of hundreds of thousands of South Africans, says Pan-African Capital CE Dr Iraj Abedian. Abedian, who was addressing the second of six AngloGold Ashanti/Motjoli Resources Mining for Change seminars on mineral bene-ficiation, advocates smart value addition with minimal but definite government intervention. "As an economist, I'm focused on using our mining activities to diversify South Africa's economy for the benefit of the South African people," he says.
