Paterson Simons attended the Investing in African Mining Indaba, held in Cape Town from 3 – 6 February 2025.
As Africa’s leading mining investment event, the Mining Indaba is dedicated to driving the successful capitalisation and development of the continent’s mining sector. With a legacy spanning over 30 years, the event brings together industry leaders, innovators, and key stakeholders from across the entire mining value chain. Beyond investment, it also champions education, career development, sustainability, and economic growth in Africa.
Key highlights from this year’s event included a stronger focus on prioritising indigenous peoples and local communities, acknowledging their vital role in shaping the industry’s future – an approach that Paterson Simons actively support and that aligns with our Vision. Discussions highlighted the need for sustainable and equitable mining practices. The conference also explored Africa’s evolving geopolitical landscape, focusing on the continent’s strategic position amid global mineral demand.
