WAXI 1 - 3

The AMIRA Global Project P934 ‘West African Exploration Initiative’ (WAXI), which started in 2006, and is now entering its fourth phase, has the dual aims of scientific research focused on increasing our understanding of the tectonic and regolith settings of ore deposits, and the development of the research and training capacity of West African geological surveys and universities.

The project has evolved significantly over the years.

This initiative demonstrates the significant research and development achievements that can be made when the different stakeholders in the minerals sector (industry, academia, government and non-government organizations) work together to achieve their diverse goals.
