On 30 July 2018, the Council extended the mandate of the EUTM RCA by two years, i.e., until 19 September 2020. The Mineral Resources Program publishes fact sheets on selected important commodities. Agriculture is the chief means of employment for Mali’s highly dispersed, predominantly rural population.

The properties of PGE, such as high melting points, corrosion resistance, and catalytic qualities, make them indispensable to many industrial applications....Niobium and tantalum are transition metals almost always paired together in nature.
Germanium is a rare element but is present in trace quantities in most rock types because of its affinity for iron- and organic-bearing materials. The country’s location and dependence on agriculture make Mali particularly vulnerable to climate shocks and changes.After the March 2012 coup d’état, President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta was elected in September 2013. 0000119239 00000 n Grains of native tellurium appear in rocks as a brittle, silvery-white material, but tellurium more commonly occurs in telluride minerals...Until recently, the rare-earth elements (REEs) were familiar to a relatively small number of people, such as chemists, geologists, specialized materials scientists, and engineers. 0000136651 00000 n Also, sodium antimonate (NaSbO3) is used during...Rhenium is a silvery-white, metallic element with an extremely high melting point (3,180 degrees Celsius) and a heat-stable crystalline structure, making it exceptionally resistant to heat and wear. There are 5 parasite species that cause malaria in humans, and 2 of these species – P. falciparum and P. vivax – pose the greatest threat. The UN Security Council, through the MINUSMA-related resolutions, continues to encourage the EUTM Mali to provide support Malian authorities.European Union has approved EUTM Mali`s Fourth Mandate, which will last until May 2020.
0 The mission’s mandate has been renewed four times, the latest, 5th mandate was adopted in May 2020. Mali is developing its iron ore extraction industry to diversify foreign exchange earnings away from gold, but the pace will depend on global price trends. Most rocks contain an average of about 3 parts per billion tellurium, making it rarer than the rare earth elements and eight times less abundant than gold. Lithium has many uses, the most prominent being in batteries for cell phones, laptops, and electric and hybrid vehicles. USAID also provides technical assistance, commodities and equipment to Mali’s primary health care delivery system and the community health worker program. Additional programs focus on building the capacity of the private sector to meet Mali’s development needs, through improved credit access, public-private partnerships, and investment facilitation. This document is based on 2 facts: development and security are closely linked (they must be mutually reinforced) and the Sahel crisis solution demands a regional response. 0000002604 00000 n Click on a pin on the map to see more information.
The restoration of a lasting peace and stability in Mali is essential for long-term stability in the Sahel region and more broadly for Africa and Europe. EUTM Mali shall not be involved in combat operations.
