It was a great week in Toronto and a great opportunity to showcase Africa as THE mining investment destination of choice. The energy and excitement for Africa was on full display at our sell-out breakfast and seminar and at the Africa pavillion at the PDAC Trade Show.

Understanding the Mining Industry From A to Z course (Feb 27 - Mar 1)

Join the 400+ participants who have mastered the mining industry with our acclaimed 3-day in-person MASTERMINING course “Understanding the Mining Industry From A to Z” available in Toronto from February 29 to March 2, 2024 just prior to PDAC.

MineAfrica was pleased to assist in the data collection for The Fraser Institute’s 26th Annual Survey of Mining Companies (2022) by promoting the survey process to our database of 12,500 contacts.

Mining executives, officers, managers, and other experts with mining exploration and development companies, and their advisors, were asked to complete the 2022 survey questionnaire with respect to jurisdictions about which they are knowledgeable.

The data collected allows the Fraser survey team to identify and rank the investment attractiveness of the mining sector in countries, provinces, and states, as well as the reasons underlying any significant shifts in the jurisdictional rankings from a year ago.
