Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

Marna Cloete

President Ivanhoe Mines


2024 Agenda Sessions

Disruptive Discussion - Africa exploration pipelines - why so empty?

  • The future of mining depends on exploring for, and discovering new deposits now – why then is so little investment being made into the last truly untapped mineral-rich continent? 
  • How do we address the major prohibitors preventing exploration spend? – political instability, safety concerns, and a lack of transparent data 
  • Unless radical change is achieved to address limited exploration spend, will Africa miss out on the opportunity to meet global demand for critical minerals needed to drive the planet’s green transformation? 
  • Which African countries are defying the limited exploration trend, and why?
