From Aspiration to Reality

Monday 05 February 11:10 - 11:50 Westin Stage

Intergovernmental Summit

Promoting Africa’s Mining vision on the global stage

  • Appraising the situation – what is the continents vision for mining and minerals? What does the current cross-continent supply chain look like?
  • What are governments doing to ensure their mining assets are being adequately exploited to maximise value capture?
  • How can African producers build alternative energy sources to support both local beneficiation as well as mining prospects?  What can foreign partners do to support these ambitions?
  • Looking at future supply scenarios – Is there sufficient investment into innovation, infrastructure and secondary production capabilities to support producers?

Shared Data and Interoperability

Monday 05 February 13:10 - 13:55 CTICC

Tech and Innovation Hub

Are African miners doing enough?

Sharing data can lead to a breakthrough in how Africa manages health and safety in its mines and its broader value chain. However, many remain reluctant to share data, fearful that they will give a competitive advantage to a rival company. Couple this with interoperability issues of dealing with multiple different technology systems, data can become useless. When it comes to health and safety, it is no longer about competitive edges, but human lives. What does Africa need to do to improve in this area?

  • Shared data and health and safety, why the lack of transparency?
  • What can African learn from European company’s data handling?
  • How do we overcome the challenges of interoperability created when using multiple tech systems?

Africa exploration pipelines - why so empty?

  • The future of mining depends on exploring for, and discovering new deposits now – why then is so little investment being made into the last truly untapped mineral-rich continent? 
  • How do we address the major prohibitors preventing exploration spend? – political instability, safety concerns, and a lack of transparent data 
  • Unless radical change is achieved to address limited exploration spend, will Africa miss out on the opportunity to meet global demand for critical minerals needed to drive the planet’s green transformation? 
  • Which African countries are defying the limited exploration trend, and why?

Balancing Supply and Security

Monday 05 February 15:40 - 16:20 Westin Stage

Intergovernmental Summit

Are international mineral partnerships providing equal value to producers?

  • Minerals have become a form of political capital on the global stage. What role does access to a secure mineral supply have?
  • With a lack of contextual understanding & consultation of continental stakeholders, is the Western approach to mineral partnerships patronising to Africa? Does this push producers to alternate sources?
  • Despite the promise of win-win relationships from alternative sources, how much value have these partnerships actually provided to the continent?
  • How can prospective partners promote Africa’s development, through localisation and contribute to the integration of producer countries into the value chain?

Mineral export bans - How does this affect investment opportunities?

  • Will this scenario lead to a rise in greater local investment spend? 
  • Can there be a balance between reducing mineral exports but still tapping into and feeding global demand? 
  • Ultimately, does the government have the right to do this? Is the negative impact not greater than the intended positive outcome?

Security of critical minerals supply: China? The West? Or Africa?

  • The struggle to secure minerals supply – particularly transition minerals is widely acknowledged – will there be a clear winner for securing the greatest supply? 
  • Is resource nationalism the answer to ensuring governments don’t lose control of their mineral assets? 
  • Foreign investment may be the solution to funding new projects in Africa – but are they doing enough to ensure economic wealth for the countries they choose to work with? 
  • Do local communities have a say?

Who should pick up the logistics tab? Government or industry?

  • Limited road and rail infrastructure is undeniably still one of Africa’s greatest mineral development constraints, but who is accountable for addressing this – government, or industry, or both? 
  • Are third party infrastructure investors the solution? 
  • The greatest challenges lie in varying legislation across countries – how does the continent collectively work together to build the necessary infrastructure? 
  • If an agreement can’t be found, what is the solution?
