Ecobank supports the entire chain, from road construction to SMEs providing food services, working with project sponsors to map full ecosystems.
Larble stressed proper on‑continent beneficiation for sustainable economic development, citing Guinea’s Simandou project as an “exciting” framework example.
While global majors finance core mines, Ecobank funds junior miners with long‑term commitments, emphasising risk management and hedging against volatile mineral prices.
For critical minerals, Ecobank aims to retain value in Africa amid geopolitical shifts positioning the continent centrally; Larble called for harmonised mining codes across countries and AfCFTA advancement to capitalise on the “new world order.”
