How Rising Resources is Leading the Charge in Copper, Cobalt and Nickel Production
As the world pushes for a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, few regions are as crucial to this transformation as Africa. At the heart of the green energy revolution lie base metals; particularly copper, cobalt and nickel—which are essential for electric vehicles, wind turbines, solar panels and battery technologies. Rising Resources is positioned at the center of this shift, leading the production and responsible development of these metals in Africa.
The Strategic Value of African Metals
Copper is vital for electrical conductivity and is a backbone of all power systems. Cobalt and nickel are key to the development of high-performance batteries, which power everything from electric cars to renewable energy storage. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia—long recognized as global leaders in copper and cobalt production—are seeing renewed interest from international markets, and Rising Resources is proud to be a driving force in this resurgence.
Our Projects in DRC and Zambia
Rising Resources has invested in flagship projects in the DRC and Zambia, focused on maximizing sustainable output while respecting local communities and ecosystems. Our approach prioritizes ethical sourcing, robust worker protections, and transparency, all while ensuring that our operations contribute meaningfully to national economies.
A Broader Continental Vision
While our presence in Central Africa remains strong, Rising Resources is expanding its footprint across the continent. With new production interests in Nigeria, Ghana, and other strategic jurisdictions, we aim to build a continental network of green metal assets that supply global markets and support Africa’s long-term development goals.
A Commitment to Sustainability
At Rising Resources, we understand that mining cannot come at the cost of the environment or community wellbeing. That’s why we are actively incorporating responsible mining standards, water and energy efficiency strategies, and local procurement policies that ensure our growth is also Africa’s growth.
