Summary
As a Mining & Research Expert at EU Africa RISE with years of experience in the mining and extractive industry sector, where knowledge application and skills transfer is set to foster investment, minerals and material value chain opportunities, and innovation for the SADC mining industry. Most core competencies in Extractive Metallurgy includes mineral processing, Metallurgical Accounting, Hydrometallurgy, Metallurgical Chemistry, academic research writing and publishing. I have expertise in Critical Raw Materials value chain addition and development research, and have consulted with different international companies on the Namibian mining industry investment opportunities, mining and mineral policies, and critical raw materials (CRM) value chain addition opportunities covering over seven African countries. As much as I am passionate about working toward critical raw materials research and Green Hydrogen (GH2) value chain development to create local value addition, economic diversification, and de-carbonization for the mining sector in Africa, I am still a metallurgist and mineral processing keeps the fire burning.
