2026 Agenda Sessions
The power of driver simulation
Driver profiling technologies are reshaping workforce training in mining by enabling personalised, data- driven approaches to skill development and safety. Through tools such as accident simulation, real-time behavioural analytics, and performance benchmarking, learn how operators can receive training that reflects their unique driving patterns, risk profiles, and learning needs.

Nubian Pyramids Stage (CTICC2 - Ground Floor - Exhibition Hall) Africa/JohannesburgCritical Mineral Ecosystems: A New Model for Raw Material Supply Security
This workshop introduces Critical Mineral Ecosystems (CMEs) as a new, coordinated model to secure raw materials needed for clean energy, mobility, and digital industries amid soaring demand and fragmented global supply. CMEs address core system-level challenges—misaligned price signals, scale coordination, capital constraints, legal fragmentation, and ESG inconsistencies—by orchestrating companies, governments, and investors under shared rules and risk-mitigation tools such as pooled offtake and volatility management. Inspired by models like H2Global, CMEs aim to accelerate project bankability, provide buyers with stable and traceable ESG-compliant supply, and enable producing nations to capture fair value.
Join us at Mining Indaba 2026 to explore how this shift from competition to coordination can redefine mineral supply security.
