Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

For people and prosperity – making beneficiation work for all

  • For beneficiation to work, it requires the correct infrastructure, investment in human capital and investor friendly policies. Why has this proven so difficult to balance?
  • Botswana is a prime example of beneficiation done well. What are the key policies that allowed this success and who else is getting it right (or wrong)?
  • What is the size of opportunity to invest profits into upskilling the existing workforce, whilst also developing new employment opportunities in the industry for graduates?
  • Why is a collaborative approach between unions, LSMs and governments mutually beneficial?
