Foreword
This significant annual event will again be held
under the auspices of and in partnership with
the African Union Commission and Ministry of
Minerals, Energy and Water Resources (MMEWR)
Botswana, with the goal of advancing the Africa
Mining Vision.
The event brings together government
ministries, mining corporates, investors and
suppliers in the mining industry to discuss
opportunities for countries and the industry.
The premise of the event is to create a platform
where all these various groups share their ideas
and innovation for development to one another
and get exposure, so as to attract investment to
the mining and minerals sector.
INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The 5th Africa Mining Summit taking place from 24th - 25th
September 2019 in Gaborone, Botswana, offers a more intimate way
of gaining new opportunities and customers from that of the ‘Big’
Indaba’s, exhibitions and conferences. Africa Mining Summit enables
more networking and face time through longer refreshment and lunch
breaks, dedicated networking and exhibiting zones, a cultural dinner
and pre-scheduled match making meetings using our bespoke ‘meeting
scheduling software’.
Those that attended last year agree that this is now their preferred deal
making platform for mining opportunities in Africa. The event brings
together suppliers who are looking to sell to the mining corporates,
mining corporates who seek investment, investors who want to strike
deals and government ministers who engage all groups to discuss new
opportunities in their countries.
The Africa Mining Summit enjoys the added value of partnering with
the African Union Commission; Department of Trade industry, the
Economic Commission of Africa and Ministry of Mineral Resources,
Green Technology & Energy Security; Botswana.

3. The AMS18 was described by our Patron, the African
Union Commission (AUC), as an ‘Institution’ growing
from strength to strength. Supported by the AUC
the AMS is missioned to generate alignment and
understanding between member states Ministers
and ministries of Mines and Energy with the private
sector investment community, and to join these
key stakeholders in Africa to engage formally in
developing and shaping exploitation of Africa’s
continental & coastal natural resources and related
industrial profile.
The AMS event stands out as the only pan-African
platform for Policy debate and for mobilising the
private sector within the Africa Mining Vision (AMV)
as a ‘Blueprint for Structural Transfer of African
Economies’; and that the Private Sector Compact
(PSC) is under execution as a tool to facilitate
dialogue to reduce and share risk created within the
African Minerals Governance Framework (AMGF).
Founded then on these initiatives, the mining &
minerals development sector in Africa should
continue to benefit significantly from market
commodity positioning as we move in to 2019 and
beyond. The clear investment trend in hard assets
that are physical and tradeable, including inter-alia
infrastructure and energy related commodities,
like Copper and Zinc, both of which are already in
or close to supply/demand deficit, Battery Metals
(Cobalt, Nickel, Vanadium, Lithium & Manganese)
and/or the Junior Mining Equities that hold such
assets or the technologies to enhance them.
This therefore continues to offer investors and all
potential beneficial stakeholders on the continent
strong fundamentals in the Mining and Energy
business sector and in the progressive project
developments that are to be found only in Africa.
Accordingly, I am expecting a larger than ever
attendance to the AMS19 to hear from and interact
with the top leaders of Mining Investment and
Operator companies on the continent.
I look forward to seeing you there.
With best regards, I remain,
Yours Faithfully

4. GRV Global runs one of the only truly pan-African mining events
where high-level delegates such as government representatives
from established and emerging mining economies, mining
executives, financiers and suppliers come together over a two-day
period to engage in a series of highly focused thematic sessions
and robust discussions. Scheduled alongside keynote addresses
and panel discussions is a number of networking events and
‘match-making’ meetings, giving delegates the opportunity to
engage directly on matters of mutual interest. This model allows
for high-level as well as deep, authentic, conversations on mining
in Africa, whether it be on financing the next project, engaging with
the relevant ministry or identifying the breakthrough technologies
available to safely and sustainably grow a business.
On behalf of GRV Global and the African Union Commission (‘AUC’),
it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 2019 African
Mining Summit. Now in its fifth year, the event has grown from
year to year as word has permeated throughout the mining industry
on the strategic value of the summit, but it still remains intimate in
that meaningful face-to-face conversations can be held across all
aspects of the mining value chain and tangible outcomes achieved.
There are many themes dominating African mining at the moment
and probably one of the more important ones, which echoes HE
Albert Muchanga’s keynote address at the 2018 summit, is that of
meaningful stakeholder collaboration. Whilst we are all mindful of
driving shareholder value, this cannot be done at the expense of the
communities in which the mines are based, nor at the expense of
governments and their fiscal authorities. Mining by its very nature is
a dangerous business and the strive towards zero harm must be front
of mind for mining executives and operators alike. This along with
environmental responsibility and the social licence to operate contribute
to the realisation on meaningful triple bottom line achievement.
However, all of the above is not possible without financing and a
transparent, fair and enabling regulatory environment. Africa is
rich in most mineral resources, the potential of which is not being
optimally exploited for a number of reasons including excessive
bureaucracy associated with permitting and access to capital owing
to a perception of excessive political risk on the part of western
funders. The conduct of business in Africa will not be possible in the
absence of transparent, fair and simple regulatory environments,
and competitive fiscal regimes with less onerous conditions
specifically around mineral nationalism, through royalties and
free carry stakes, which significantly dilute the value of projects
to funders, and effectively turn off small to medium sized projects
which cannot bear these costs.
Nearly all of the exploration capital and most of the mining
development capital comes from outside of Africa from the main
financial centres of the UK, Canada and Australia. The shared vision
among the AMS 2019 delegates should include finding ways of
making Africa more competitive for business and attracting African
capital to fund African mining projects.
The mining industry has again been faced with a year of challenges
and uncertainties, for instance the impacts of Brexit, and the
cooling of global economies aligned with increasing interest rates
and increased uncertainty has had consequences on the broader
appetite for financing of new mining projects. On a more positive
note, the conversion of the auto industry to electric technologies
will result in substantial demand for metals in which Africa is rich
including lithium and cobalt, with the benefits that will flow back to
the continent, producing countries and communities.
I encourage you to actively join in the conversations which are to be
had and thus lead your business and our continent to a brighter and
sustainable future.
With best regards from myself and the organising team at GRV Global.

away the coveted trophy in aid of a local charity, Mpule Kwelagobe
children’s centre, a place of safety that provides short-erm residential
care, support and protection to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC’s)
where the traditional caring structures have failed.
The residential facility was donated by Debswana Jwaneng mine as
part of its social responsibility to the community. The centre which
accommodates children from birth to 18 years old was named
after Miss Mpule Kwelagobe who won miss universe in 1999.
Over the last two years we have raised nearly USD 3,000,
which has been used to replace all the curtains in the houses
and general maintenance and hope to beat that total this year
for further improvements.
