Explorers Showcase
Dedicated to helping explorers find the right partners
The Explorers Showcase is a standout feature of the Investment Village at Mining Indaba. It offers a dedicated platform for exploration and early development mining companies with assets across Africa to gain visibility, attract investment, and form strategic partnerships.
Building on its successful debut, the Explorers Showcase provides private, unlisted, and listed exploration companies a unique space to present their projects directly to a global network of investors, deal-makers, and industry leaders.

Explorers Showcase 2025 Participants
“The Team from Ignite found Mining Indaba 2025 very useful. As first-time Explorer Showcase Exhibitors, we were able to connect with several industry players, ranging from financiers to service providers. We were able to build several relationships, some of which we have tapped into and are nurturing for business purposes. We hope to attend future Mining Indabas, with the aim of developing further relationships both on the continent and globally going forward.”
“We enjoyed this year's Indaba, and we found it really productive in terms of meetings, and we would definitely like to attend via the Explorers Showcase again.”
“We had a great experience and will certainly be back. I think the Explorers Showcase was an excellent initiative, and it's great seeing the floor space dedicated to companies involved in exploration activities.”
