2026 Agenda Sessions

Africa's exploration hotspots - critical minerals on a critical timeline

Africa is not just rich in resources – it’s the ultimate frontier for discovery. From copper belts to lithium corridors, the continent holds the keys to the global energy transition. As investor appetite surges and offtake deals accelerate, the race is on to uncover the next game-changing deposits. How can explorers push boundaries, fast-track projects, and secure funding while navigating political headwinds, complex geopolitics, and the risk of over-reliance on single-country buyers?
