In our final issue of 2025, we review the defining trends of the year and share a 2026 outlook for the mining sector. We examine Africa’s critical minerals boom, from the US-China rivalry to secure the continent’s resources to the progress of projects being developed under the EU’s Critical Raw Materials Act. We also spotlight the potential of district-scale mining, set to reshape Peru’s silver industry.
