As the mining industry continues to evolve, so do we. Our refreshed brand reflects how we show up today-more connected, more confident, and more aligned with the role we play in supporting African mining on a global stage.

You’ll notice an evolution in our visual identity and messaging, alongside a continued simplified expression of our name-Mining Indaba-across our branding which reflects how our community knows and refers to our event. This is a cosmetic update, and our focus remains unchanged: championing investment in African mining and supporting the partnerships that drive progress.  

What’s changing and what’s not

What’s changing

A refreshed look, a clearer voice, and a more confident expression of who we are today.

What’s not

Our purpose. For over 30 years, Mining Indaba has brought together the full mining ecosystem - connecting capital with opportunity and creating a platform where partnerships are built and progress is driven.

That remains unchanged.

From Minerals to Meaningful Impact

At the heart of our evolution is our new narrative:

This reflects a broader shift in the industry-from extraction alone to the value and opportunity mining can create. When developed responsibly, Africa’s natural resources have the potential to support communities, enable infrastructure, power the energy transition, and drive long-term economic growth.

Mining Indaba is where these opportunities come together connecting the people, ideas, and capital needed to turn potential into real, lasting impact.

Driving investment into African mining

Mining Indaba is dedicated to supporting the sustainable development and capitalisation of mining across Africa. We provide a platform where:

• Investment is unlocked
• Partnerships are formed
• Industry challenges are addressed
• Innovation and collaboration drive progress

By bringing together global and African stakeholders, we help position African mining as a key driver of economic growth and long-term resilience.

A connected global ecosystem

Mining Indaba is part of a broader ecosystem designed to connect capital with opportunity year-round.

Through a closer alignment with 121 Mining Investment, we are creating a more connected experience-particularly in Cape Town-where focused investment meetings and broader industry conversations come together.

This integrated approach strengthens our ability to support meaningful partnerships, both at the event and beyond.

The leading platform for African mining

Mining Indaba remains the premier meeting place for the global mining community focused on Africa.

Each year, we bring together:

• Mining companies
• Investors and financiers
• Governments and policymakers
• Communities and industry stakeholders

Together, they shape the future of mining—driving investment, innovation, and sustainable growth across the continent.

Looking ahead

Mining Indaba continues to be where the world connects with African mining. Not just to discuss what’s next-but to help build it.
