Africa's Critical Minerals -
Powering the Global Energy Transition

The minerals that will power electric vehicles, store renewable energy, and enable the hydrogen economy are overwhelmingly African. Hasnihl Minerals provides the intelligence and access for investors entering this structural demand shift.

Critical Battery and Energy Transition Minerals in Africa - Cobalt, Lithium, Platinum, Graphite

Co

Cobalt

70% of global supply from DRC

EV battery cathodes (NMC, NCA, LCO)

No cobalt - no lithium-ion battery at scale. DRC's dominance of supply makes Africa the single most important cobalt jurisdiction on earth for any EV manufacturer or energy storage developer.
