Our conversations were meaningful and looked to the future of Africa.”

“The Mining Indaba 2025 lived up to its promise of engaging topics, extensive networking opportunities, and discussions that continue to shape the mining landscape. It is such a great opportunity to connect with potential employers, collaborators, and mentors alike. I have met with and exchanged contacts with some of the most prominent figures the mining industry has to give. Some approached me after the discussion to ask for contact details with prospects of future collaborations. In short, the event was a resounding success.”

“Overall, the Mining Indaba was filled with rollercoasters of joy, experience and insights on challenging topics involving the mining industry and the importance of research. Collaborations, research and engagement are key for the future if the industry of Africa is to have impact in the just energy transition.”

“The great selection of stimulating and thought-provoking panel discussions, presentations, workshops, and exhibitions, which run concurrently, got me very conflicted as to how I spend my time. Very difficult decisions were made; I never wished I could be present at multiple places at the same time so badly! The platform also presents one with a rare and unmatched opportunity to network and mingle with industry leaders.”

“The exposure and networking opportunities with such a diverse range of industry and government representatives were invaluable, and I know this experience will significantly boost my professional profile.”
