Resources 4 Africa is pleased to announce the 9th edition of its annual Junior Indaba, taking place on 6th & 7th June 2023 in Johannesburg. The Junior Indaba is a popular meeting place for junior miners and is enjoyed by all for its incisive, informative and frank discussions tackling the challenges and opportunities for exploration and development for junior mining companies in South Africa and elsewhere in Africa.
Discussions will be framed within the global geopolitical, socio-economic and energy shifts taking place and their impact on junior mining; the demand for “green” metals; the outlook for commodities in 2023, access to finance, the regulatory environment; and much, much more.
Come and join in the all-important conversations which will address questions such as:
- What is the outlook for junior mining in South Africa & the rest of Africa?
- How are commodity prices faring in 2023 and what will this mean for juniors?
- What is the forecast for demand for ‘green’ metals and their applications?
- Where are the opportunities and pressures for junior miners when it comes to decarbonization of society generally and more specifically of mining operations?
- How can SA government policy and legislation be reformed to promote junior mining and exploration?
- What sources of finance are available and how can juniors access these?
- How can you successfully manage the risks associated with setting up a junior mining project?
- What lessons can be learned from successful junior miners who are already operating in SA and beyond?
- And much more…
Popular features over the two days include: Lessons from the Legends, Myth Busters and a showcase of presentations from junior miners across the continent. The line-up will include junior producers, investors, government, legal and industry experts.
