Paterson Simons attended the Investing in African Mining Indaba held 9 to 12 February in Cape Town, engaging with industry leaders shaping the future of mining in Africa. As the continent’s leading mining investment event, Mining Indaba brings together decision-makers driving growth, innovation and responsible development.
Since its inception in 1994, the Investing in Africa Mining Indaba has grown into a key meeting point for African and global mining leaders, government representatives, investors, OEMs and service providers. The conference provides a vital platform for collaboration, partnership-building and deal-making, while shaping strategic conversations around the future of mining on the continent.
At the 2026 event, discussions focused on unlocking Africa’s mineral potential through innovation, responsible investment and sustainable mining practices, alongside the practical operational, environmental and economic challenges facing the sector. As the event continues to expand in scale and influence, Mining Indaba remains central to driving long-term growth across Africa’s mining industry.
