Africa may be best known for its wealth of gold, diamonds, and oil, but the mineral-rich continent also hosts significant copper reserves.

- What is fuelling the demand for copper, and why there are concerns about a supply deficit.
- Why this is not a commodity supercycle, and why the price of copper will outperform other commodities in the short to medium term.
