This is the largest African event of investments in the mining sector, and this year will have as its theme “Unlocking the Future of Mining in Africa”.

The objectives of the participation are to transmit the Angolan experience, capture investments to leverage projects, identify and establish partnerships in the field of service provision, as well as to promote the potential and the national mining sector’s focus on sustainability and female inclusion.

The speakers will be the President of the National Agency of Mineral Resources, Jacinto Rocha, the National Director of Mineral Resources, Paulo Tanganha, and the Deputy General Director of the Catoca Mining Society, Paulo Mandela, to address, respectively, the themes Angola’s Mineral Potential: The Future is Here”; “Future Enabling Metals and Minerals”; and “Governance and sustainable accountability frameworks – Challenges and opportunities for greater success”.

The concept adopted for the 2023 edition is based on the monetization of costs through a joint participation, marked by the constitution of a single delegation and the stands “The potential of the Angolan diamond”, which includes companies from the Diamond sub-sector (ENDIAMA, SODIAM, AJ Silva, and the Mining Companies of Catoca, Chitotolo, Yetwene, Furi, Kaixepa), and “The mining potential of Angola”, which brings together other companies from various branches of the Angolan mining sector (Geosondas, Minbos Resources, Ozango Minerals Hipermaquinas and Shinning Star).
