Could you name a few publicly traded ones and their tickers?

The ones I am invested in are all Australian listed (some have a dual listing in Canada). The Australian and Canadian markets (also AIM in London) are where most of the companies are listed.

Take a look at the following gold companies that I really like. Gold is easier to deal with the poor logistics of Africa than the base metals which require shipping large volumes of ore.

The pictures on Tietto's website really show what mining is like in a lot of Africa without western capital.

Thanks. Cardinal Resources looks like an interesting investment. Do you happen to know other companies that mine other resources as well?

Tickers for others to save a bit of time:

ASX:RSG ASX:WAF ASX:CDV ASX:TIE

Not in Africa. All my base metal investments are Australian based.

WAF and CDV are both listed on the TSX (Canada) as well.

Could you share that? I am interested in mining companies in general :).

My current favourites are Galina (ASX:G1A) which is a lead/silver developer and Aeris Resources (ASX:AIS) a copper producer, but which is currently drilling a very large IOCG deposit in South Australia.

If you are interested in learning about Australian mining companies then take a look at Hot Copper. Watch out as like most stock internet message boards there is a lot of ramping, but there is also a huge amount of useful information there too. Just make sure to check everything you read yourself.
