Taraba, others charts new course for sector at Mining INDABA 2024

Since 1994, investing in African Mining INDABA has been the number one place for deal sourcing and corporate matchmaking for the African mining industry. It has and continues to serve as the most comprehensive gathering for investment, finance, innovation, and transformation to support end-to-end value creation.

The event held recently in Cape Town, South Africa, brought together all relevant players and key stakeholders in the mining world.

For 2024, the organisers aimed to elevate the Mining Indaba experience through the theme: ‘Embracing the power of positive disruption: A bold new future for African mining’, to encourage and support the needed change and disruption in the African mining industry to engender growth.

According to them, the industry is still in the early onset of disruption, with advancements in technology, health and safety, environment and exploration, among others. They believe it is time to put the real issues on the agenda, and outline the true investment inhibitors and how these ultimately feed into new opportunities.

Taraba State Governor, Dr Agbu Kefas, who was represented at the event by the Permanent Secretary on Mining, Mr. David Matsai Angye, is an advocate of responsible mining.

Kefas, who is keen on putting Taraba state on the map of top minerals producing regions, believe that responsible mining is a fundamental necessity for developing countries with minerals where mining is done with damage to the environment.
