Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Explorers Showcase

Dedicated to helping explorers find the right partners

It's no secret that deal-making is the key to Mining Indaba. It's why we're trusted by the most high-profile investors and senior executives within the sector. After the successful launch in 2023, the Explorers Showcase is returning to shed light on exploration and early development mining companies with assets across Africa. 

Explorers Showcase is a dedicated space for private/unlisted or listed exploration companies with African assets to showcase their projects at Mining Indaba and it enables explorers to gain access to our elite network of deal-makers to help raise finance or find the right partner to advance their project.
