Now more than ever, Africa’s mining sector attracts mining investment companies seeking lucrative opportunities
Investing in African Mining Indaba hosted 88 exploration companies, 340 juniors, and 130 mid-tier and major mining investment companies in 2024. In 2025, an even larger turnout of exploration and mining companies with African assets is expected. This offers an excellent opportunity for mining investment companies to connect with existing clients and discover new investment opportunities to diversify their portfolios.
In today's mining investment landscape, future-proofing is paramount, and making an investment decision requires a holistic approach. Mining investment companies must consider not only production-driven profits but also responsible governance practices, environmental impact, social engagement, and a stable regulatory landscape.
At Mining Indaba, we recognise that identifying projects meeting these multifaceted criteria is no easy task. However, our mission is clear: to facilitate meaningful discussions and showcase projects that align with the needs of mining investment companies.
