African countries, mining projects, companies, products and services took the spotlight at the sold-out 24th Annual African Mining Breakfast & MineAfrica’s 21st Annual Investing in African Mining Seminar during PDAC 2023. Marna Cloete, President of Ivanhoe Mines, delivered the keynote address.
PDAC is a global conference with over 24 000 delegates from around the world participating, from over 135 countries.
“The challenge is to make sure that Africa stands out as an attractive mining investment destination amidst this global competition – and that is exactly what our programming does,” says Wayne Floreani, President of MineAfrica Inc.
“The largest African mining event in North America provides delegates with an unparalleled opportunity to promote their country, company, African project, product or services to a senior-level, African-focused audience,” says Garreth Bloor, President of The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business.
