WE DO MORE THAN ENVISION THE FUTURE –WE ACTIVELY SHAPE IT
”As the world pivots toward a just energy transition, Africa can lead, leveraging its vast wealth of critical minerals to drive economic prosperity and sustainable development. Mining Indaba will be the catalyst for this transformation, redefining the global narrative on critical minerals. For the first time, the event will challenge the conventional perspective, asking the critical question: “What minerals are essential for Africa, and why?” Africa’s needs surpass the global definition, focusing on resources essential to fostering its economic independence and growth. Whether you’re a dealmaker, a buyer, or a rising young leader, this is your platform to engage, innovate, and drive lasting change. The future of mining is shaped by those bold enough to claim it.“
Laura Nicholson Head of Content & Strategic Partnerships

AFRICA
02: FUTURE-PROOFING OUR COMMUNITIES
Our content regarding the Industrialising of Africa fosters robust downstream economies through in-country processing and manufacturing. It also requires the development of strong infrastructure to support new mining projects across various territories. Encouraging trade between African countries is another key aspect, along with considering geopolitical environments and their impact on the continent’s development. Critical minerals, such as gold, coal, iron ore, bitumen, and potash, play a pivotal role in delivering an industrialised Africa.

The Future-Proofing of African communities requires ensuring engagement and participation in the Just Energy Transition. We are providing a platform that fosters diversity and inclusion while driving economic wealth for mining communities. Respecting the voices and opinions of African forefathers, along with their current and future generations, is essential. Additionally, there is a need to better define the role and contributions of artisanal and small-scale miners. Promoting equality for all remains a cornerstone of this vision.

03: DELIVERING EFFECTIVE
NET ZERO & JUST ENERGY TRANSITION STRATEGIES
Delivering effective net zero and Just Energy Transition strategies involves championing the drive to achieve zero carbon emissions across mining operations in Africa. It includes harnessing the potential of renewable energy in mining to support broader national objectives for clean energy. Enabling local communities to actively participate in this transition is crucial. Understanding the impact of green mines on reducing global carbon emissions is essential, as is establishing a unified narrative between downstream end-users and African miners.

07: PRIORITISING HEALTH & SAFETY
Health and safety in the mining industry is a critical focus yet achieving “zero harm” remains an aspirational goal. Despite advancements, incidents persist, raising the question: is technology the underutilised key to unlocking safer workplaces? Modern tools like AI, IoT, and automation promise enhanced monitoring, predictive maintenance, and reduced human exposure to hazardous environments. However, adoption gaps suggest these solutions have yet to reach their full potential. Learning from past mistakes is essential. Each incident should serve as a lesson, preventing recurrence and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Alongside this, mining companies must prioritise the well-being of surrounding communities, ensuring ethical and sustainable practices.
Equally vital is addressing mental health in a tech-driven era. The pressures of a high-risk industry demand robust support systems, balancing innovation with compassion. As we move forward, collaboration and a holistic approach will shape the industry’s future.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DOWNSTREAM BUYERS
Africa holds a significant portion of the world’s critical minerals, including copper, cobalt, lithium, nickel, graphite, manganese and more, which are essential for producing batteries used in electric vehicles and renewable energy storage.
As the global demand for these minerals increases – driven by global consumers’ needs for a decarbonised world – manufacturers in the automotive, aerospace, clean energy, and technology sectors must secure sufficient minerals to build resilient supply chains, while also meet the rising global demand for sustainable and ethically sourced critical minerals.
Mining Indaba supports downstream buyers understand Africa’s critical minerals wealth potential while navigating geopolitical and regulatory risks and infrastructure limitations. There will be several dialogues, networking and content agendas to unpack the latest developments around environmental management, price volatility, and localisation of skills and downstream value addition. All these support downstream buyers’ objectives to grow their businesses, collaborating with the continent to do so.
THE IMPORTANCE OF COMMUNITIES AND INDIGENOUS PEOPLE
In 2025, Mining Indaba will, for the first time, recognise and acknowledge one of the African mining sector ’s most important stakeholder groups – mining communities, civil society, and indigenous people. This landmark recognition will introduce dedicated sessions across various agendas to discuss critical issues related to their roles in mining, with the goal of building a transformed, inclusive, and sustainable industry together.
THE IMPORTANCE OF AFRICAN MINING’S NEXT GENERATION
The emerging young leaders in the mining industry are the voices of tomorrow who will shape the future with their innovative ideas and bold visions. For a sustainable future, these up-and-coming voices in the mining sector will inspire positive change and offer new insights.
Initiatives under the NEXTGEN segment provides a platform for interaction between key industry stakeholders, young leaders, and higher education institutions.
By fostering collaboration and mentorship, the NEXTGEN programmes are paving the way for a more dynamic and inclusive mining sector in Africa.
In 2025, we welcome back 30 Future Leaders, as part of the alumni, 11 PhD students and a student programme - Younger Leaders Programme - on Thursday that delves into all mining-related topics relevant to our aspiring future generation of mining professionals.
