Increasingly a hard gate — IFC, EBRD and AfDB all require Paris-alignment. Two axes: the commodity's transition role on the demand side (battery/magnet minerals enabling; gold neutral; potash agricultural) via IEA STEPS/APS/NZE, and the project's own operational footprint (power source, emissions intensity) plus physical-climate exposure. Gold is commodity-neutral, but operational power varies widely — one asset runs on a ~100%-hydro grid.
Demand ≠ Paris-alignment. A mineral being in demand under IEA APS/NZE is transition-DEMAND exposure, not project-level Paris-alignment — which assesses the project's own emissions and transition/stranding risk and is largely not assessed here.
The bold screen line on each card is an Afrimintel synthesis (Derived) of the sourced cells beneath it, not a separate datum.
Pipeline read. 9 of 13 assets are gold — a climate-neutral commodity with mostly-unassessed operational footprints — so this gate's value concentrates in the 3 transition minerals (Ni, REE, Li) and in operational-footprint differentiation (e.g. Kurmuk's hydro grid), not in the gold base.
