2019 marked the 25th anniversary of the annual Investing in African Mining Indaba event. This year, speakers ranged from two heads of state-- H.E. Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa and H.E. Nana Akufo-Addo, President of Ghana-- and major mining CEOs, including from Anglo American and Barrick.
The festival is a truly a can’t-miss event for those in mining as it presents key opportunities for one-on-one meetings with financiers and allows attendees to take stock of the advancements that have been made in the past year.
So we connected with industry leaders who attended the event to hear, in their own words, why Indaba continues to be considered "the leading deal—making forum for the mining community."
A huge thank you to Mark Taylor, CEO of Neu Capital Africa; James Campbell, Managing Director of Botswana Diamonds (BOD) ; Michael Devilliers, Chairman and Executive Director of Ariana Resources (AAU) ; and Peter Cox, CEO of Ironveld (IRON) , for their time and insight.
