The African mining industry has shown its resilience despite facing challenges like rising energy costs and power cuts. The sector has made a noteworthy contribution to the nation’s GDP in 2023, thanks to investments in new and existing mining operations. The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy is overseeing the execution of R400 billion in mining projects promised at several investment seminars. The 30th Investing in African Mining Indaba held in Cape Town had a central theme of “Seizing the power of constructive disruption: A daring new era for African mining,” which embodies a determination to transform the mining sector and make it a significant global competitor.
