Rethinking Resource Nationalism: Cash Grab or Fair Share? (Mining Indaba)

Is the increase of exports bans of unprocessed minerals a sign of a wider trend across Africa? How have mining companies reacted to this continental shift? Does the uncertainty of access affect investment? What effect has the move towards greater beneficiation requirements had on existing and future mining projects? How can increased nationalism around mineral assets affect producers, specifically when considering beneficiation, ownership ambitions and greater employment?
