Thanks for adding me to this eminent group, Saleem.

I am very pleased to share my latest working papers - a trilogy, in fact - on the important subject matter above:

--- overview

https://odi.org/en/publications/europe-and-africa-flipped-the-script-on-industrial-minerals/ 

--- arguing that Africa faces a shortage of industrial minerals in the absence of comprehensive supply agreements

https://odi.org/en/publications/a-novel-protocol-for-digital-mineral-information-rights-in-africa/ 

--- proposing a digital-enabled incentive model to ramp up exploration

https://odi.org/en/publications/getting-smart-about-africas-mineral-wealth-how-digital-public-infrastructure-can-revolutionise-mineral-fiscal-regimes-in-west-africa/ 

--- and a set of smart-fiscal tools to safeguard the current fiscus as the continent works on a long overdue transition 

Looking forward to reading from everyone about your work in this area.

Warm regards, 

Bright
