Mining and Metals Sector

Africa’s mining industry has an undeniable impact on the continent’s economic growth; however, in order to secure a sustainable future for our continent and planet, it is crucial for the sector to balance economic progress with environmental responsibility. As Africa’s premier mining event, African Mining Indaba 2025 explored how we can collectively future-proof the industry by fostering sustainable practices, embracing technological advancements and championing diversity and inclusion to create a sustainable future for mining in Africa. We are a proud sponsor of Africa Mining Indaba 2025, a platform that brought together industry leaders and stakeholders to discuss and grow the mining sector on the continent.  Africa Mining Indaba took place from 3 to 6 February 2025 at Cape Town International Convention Centre. We are committed to playing a role in driving thought leadership and advancing the mining and energy sectors on the continent.
