Resource concessions, extraction agreements, and investment structuring for mining operations across North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.
Overview
North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa contain some of the world's most significant mineral deposits, and the legal frameworks governing their extraction are changing. Several jurisdictions have revised their mining codes in the past five years, altering concession terms, local content requirements, and royalty structures. For foreign companies seeking to develop or acquire mining assets in the region, understanding the legal landscape is a prerequisite to investment — and managing government relationships is what determines whether a concession remains stable once operations begin. MEASA advises mining and resources clients on concession applications, extraction agreements, investment structuring, and the ongoing government engagement that protects their position in the field.
