Paterson Simons was in attendance at the 2024 Investing in African Mining Indaba held in Cape Town from February 5th to 8th. The Mining Indaba is a premier event dedicated to advancing the capitalization and development of mining ventures across Africa.
We experienced a very positive and optimistic outlook from attendees at the Indaba. The general mood amongst attendees was receptive and forward looking, and we share this sense of optimism in the industry for the upcoming year and beyond!
Therefore, it is no surprise to us that this 30th edition of the Indaba was one of the most successful Mining Indabas to date, boasting a record attendance of 11,000 delegates from 126 countries.
As one of the largest annual gatherings in the mining industry, the event offers a comprehensive view of the African mining landscape, uniting visionaries and innovators from various sectors of the value chain. Moreover, the Mining Indaba remains committed to supporting education, career advancement, sustainable development, and other vital initiatives across the continent.
