Investing in Africa Mining Indaba (MI) part of Hyve Group PLC is an annual mining conference held in Cape Town, South Africa which was first held in 1994.[1]
With over 8,000 delegates attending it is considered the largest investment event in Africa, bringing together mining companies, investors, government officials and industry experts in debates and discussions that attempt to influence the mining future of Africa.[2][3]
- 2024 theme: Embracing the power of positive disruption: A bold new future for African mining[4]
- 2023 theme: Unlocking African Investment: Stability, Security, and Supply[5]
- 2022 theme: Evolution of African Mining: Investing in the Energy Transition, ESG, and the Economies[6]
- 2021 theme (online): Resilience and Regrowth: Adopting the New Mindset for African Mining[7]
- 2020 theme: Investment in the digital economy of mining[8]
- 2019 theme: Championing Africa's Sustainable Economic Growth[9]
The conference embraced it's 30th anniversary in 2024.[10]
History
[edit]Starting 1994, MI has since transformed into one of the world’s largest mining investment conferences[11], second only to The Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) International Convention, Trade Show & Investors Exchange. Indaba is Zulu/Xhosa for a conference of izinDuna or leaders.[12]
2020-2022 Pandemic
[edit]The event was early enough in 2020 not to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Cape Town in-person conference was cancelled in 2021 and reverted to a virtual platform during the worst of the Pandemic due to the severe travel restrictions and national border closures.[13] By 2022 the conference was pushed forward to May as global travel restrictions began to ease significantly by then and attendance was record-breaking. [14] Subsequently, the conference was moved back to the usual dates in February by 2023 as international travel began to normalise.[15]
Fees
[edit]As of 2024, a premium three-day pass as a delegate to the conference could cost up to GBP£1,732 + 15% VAT, while a one-day pass was around GBP£250. Government officials, the press and investors attend free of charge. There were concessions for students in 2023 however there has been no accommodation for community members to attend despite requests by mining-affected community members[16]
Responsible Resourcing Awards
[edit]In the post-pandemic conference the MI sustainability committee began to present Junior ESG awards judged by industry peers and sponsored by Onyen, a Canadian ESG Reporting Software provider, to recognise and encourage positive impacts relating to sustainable development by Junior miners. In preparation for MI24 the awards were rebranded as the Responsible Resourcing Awards for the following nine categories:[14] [17] [18]
Community Engagement Award
[edit]Water Award
[edit]Nature Award
[edit]Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Award
[edit]Climate Award
[edit]Transparency Award
