Abstract:	Jointly-owned regional enterprises could assist in the revival of the mineral sector, facilitate the achievement of African control, encourage the development of indigenous personnel and achieve major economies of scale and management, financing, marketing and risk sharing. Such enterprises could be viable and sustainable if carefully designed with respect to financial autonomy, internal incentive structures and commercial orientation. Bibliogr., diagr., tab.
