Cape Town: With just one month to go before the African Mining Week (AMW) conference, global mining stakeholders are preparing for industry-shaping discussions, deal signings, and new partnerships at Africa's premier gathering for mining stakeholders.
According to African Press Organization, the event is scheduled for October 1-3, 2025, in Cape Town, and will take place under the theme "From Extraction to Beneficiation: Unlocking Africas Mineral Wealth." It aims to unite African stakeholders with global partners to enhance investment flows across the mining value chain.
AMW 2025 has confirmed the participation of six African mining ministers, including Martin Gama Abucha of South Sudan, Winston Chitando of Zimbabwe, Kenneth Zikhale Reeves Ngoma of Malawi, Teddy Lwamba of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Emmanuel Kofi Buah of Ghana, and Karim Badawi of Egypt. These ministers will engage in the Ministerial Forum, exclusive fireside chats, and country spotlights, where they are expected to showcase policies aimed at attracting investments. The event will also feature high-level regulatory authorities such as Moses Micheal Engadu of the African Union's Africa Minerals Strategy Group and Khadidja Hassane Abdoulaye of Chad.
The conference will spotlight the energy-mining nexus, featuring insights from Francesco La Camera of the International Renewable Energy Agency, and representatives from renewable firms JUWI, Solink, and energy services company OilDynamics. Running parallel with African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies, it will create a platform for collaboration between energy and mining stakeholders.
AMW 2025's three-day agenda will also include contributions from research institutions, academia, and legal experts. Organizations such as S and P Global Insights, Columbia Business School, Chatham House, Sidley Austin, Moore Global, Minexx, and Project Blue are expected to shape discussions on policy, market trends, and the future of African mining.
The event will feature an exhibition space to showcase technologies, services, and expertise from across the mining value chain.
