Which of the five largest mining countries in Africa has more resources?
As we all know, Africa is a rich land of mineral resources. Its mineral reserves account for 2/3 of the world's total. It has more than half of the global reserves of gold, platinum, palladium, cobalt, diamonds, as well as a large amount of uranium, manganese and chromium, while oil accounts for 12% of the world's total. It can be said that Africa may be the last virgin land where global resources have not yet been carved up. At present, all major countries are stepping up their deployment.

Africa is very rich in mineral resources and has good investment prospects in the long run. Its total value of resources accounts for 23% of the world's total, but its output value only accounts for 9% of the world's total. Therefore, Africa is the most potential region for the development of mineral resources in the world. Moreover, some minerals in Africa are extremely dominant in the world, of which platinum group accounts for 91% of global reserves, uranium accounts for 72%, diamond (diamond) accounts for 47%, and gold accounts for 18%. The largest destination of China's overseas mining investment is Africa. China's investment projects in Africa mainly include copper, aluminum, diamonds, gold, uranium, etc.
