Mining On Top: Africa – London Summit Sharing the profits of the commodity boom Mining On Top: Africa brings together all the stakeholders to chart the path for developing the continent’s rich mineral wealth to everyone’s benefit. Carefully selected speakers will consider the most aposite subjects and company presentations highlight the opportunity Africa presents for suppliers, mining companies and investors.
The Commonwealth Business Council (CBC) was established in 1997 with a direct mandate from Heads of Commonwealth Governments to promote trade and investment amongst 54 member nations and increase economic linkages with nonmember countries. CBC’s goal is to achieve economic empowerment for shared global prosperity through the enhancement of private sector contribution to social and economic development. For more information please visit our website www.cbcglobal.org
UK Trade & Investment With professional advisers both within the UK and across more than 100 international markets, UK Trade & Investment is the Government Department that helps UK-based companies succeed in the global economy and assists overseas companies to bring their high-quality investment to the UK. www.ukti.gov.uk
25-26th June 2013 One Great George Street, Westminster, London More people in the world will be urbanised in the next 30 years than were born before 1939. This rapid development will place huge burdens on the world’s resources. In order to satisfy this demand, explorers and miners are looking further afield in order to identify mineral resources. The expectations of the private sector and those of the host nations and their governments, seem wider apart in mining than almost any other sector of the economy. Whilst indigenous people expect a benefit to social and economic development from the exploitation of their resources, mining companies highlight the huge amount of investment required in order to monetise mineral assets that are otherwise economically worthless. These divergent viewpoints can lead to tension. By bringing together key government officials, senior representatives of mining companies, investors and service providers, the Mining On Top: Africa - London Summit will create a greater understanding between stakeholders. In addition, the summit will identify areas where mining companies can do more to improve the social and economic outcomes of their activities. Many of the key developing mining economies are African, and the UK has a long association with the continent. This is particularly true for the African mining sector, with the UK’s proficiency in providing finance, insurance, trading platforms and expertise. During this event there will be a focus on how this connection can be leveraged to maximise the benefits of the unique mineral opportunity of Africa.
