Secure supply from African projects that are real.
Your cathode line needs lithium, graphite and nickel it can count on years out. The African supply is real but the data is noisy — headline resources, optimistic timelines, disputed ownership. Afrimintel traces each battery-metal project to its primary filing, and withholds the number where the record won't support it — so a supply plan rests on what's verified, not what's promoted.
Assessing an offtake source? One named asset, every figure traced to the document it came from and dated.
Worked battery-metal assets across every metal a cathode or anode line depends on — copper, rare earths, cobalt, lithium, nickel, graphite and manganese — each traced to the operator’s own filings, with the gaps named rather than filled.
A supply plan usually turns on two or three specific projects, not two hundred. If one of yours is thin here, we verify that asset to primary source — and where ownership is disputed or a timeline has no filing behind it, we withhold the number instead of publishing an optimistic one you would have to unwind later.
Where the record is silent it says so, rather than publishing an optimistic figure you would have to unwind later. Get that asset verified — $1,850 →Want the whole worked set instead?

A supply plan is only as good as the projects behind it.
Battery-metal demand runs on projects that may or may not deliver — a resource quoted three ways, a first-production date that slips, an ownership dispute that stalls a mine for years. Build an offtake or investment plan on the promotional version and the shortfall arrives when you can least absorb it. Afrimintel gives you the sourced picture per project, scores the operators' timelines as they resolve, and marks Absent the moment the record won't support a number.
