Mining conference aims to explore opportunities
The Junior Mining and Exploration Conference and Exhibition will be held from 6 - 8 November at the Turbine Hall in Newtown, Johannesburg.
With the explicit mandate to promote investment, development, growth and sustainability, the conference and exhibition is primed at the platform to explore the latest opportunities and success strategies for junior to mid-tier mining companies - from exploration to production within Southern Africa.
CEOs, entrepreneurs and leading mining executives are securing their places at this premier, inaugural event, which has attracted a host of over 40 prominent speakers across the mining landscape.
Says conference chair, Bernard Swanepoel, CEO of Village Main Reef: "The junior mining sector is critical for future job creation. Certain sectors of the South African mining industry are in deep crisis, as recently witnessed in the platinum belt labour disputes. This is therefore the ideal time for a forum, which brings together the mining industry, investors, and other key stakeholders, to drive interventions in an attempt to take the industry forward."
