2027 Agenda

Mining presents a compelling opportunity, but for many investors, it remains one of the least understood sectors. In Africa, the challenge is often not finding opportunities, but knowing how to assess them.  

This session is designed for investors who are new to mining or looking to expand their exposure to the African mining sector. Rather than focusing on technical mining concepts, it provides a practical framework for evaluating opportunities across jurisdictions and company types.  

Through real-world examples, attendees will explore how value is created along the mining lifecycle, what separates successful investments from unsuccessful ones, and how to navigate the risks and opportunities unique to African mining markets.  

All attendees will receive an African Mining Investor Cheat Sheet: a practical guide covering key industry terminology, company types, valuation metrics, and red flags to look for when assessing mining opportunities.
