Botswana-based manganese developer Giyani Metals has welcomed the news that Botswana has joined the Energy Resource Governance Initiative (ERGI), which supports the discovery of mineral reserves of strategic metals used to make battery electric vehicles (EVs).
Under the ERGI, the US will share mining expertise with member countries to help them discover and develop minerals such as lithium, copper and cobalt, as well as advise on management and governance frameworks to help ensure their industries are attractive to international investors.
