15-17 September 2015 • Taj Pamodzi Hotel, Lusaka, Zambia

Africa’s copper potential continues to hold the interest of the global mining community. Zambiaand DRC are striving to meet higher production targets and supply is growing in countries suchas Botswana and Namibia. Progress is being made to overcome the logistical, infrastructure,political, and social hurdles and – despite the risks – investment interest is on the increase.

Metal Bulletin Events returns to the Copperbelt in 2015 for its increasingly popular African CopperConference. The only event on the calendar focusing specifically on the exploration, extraction andproduction of copper in Africa. With presentations from government ministers, copper producers,service providers and financiers covering the key issues affecting the African market, this conferenceis a must for anyone wanting to get a better understanding of industry dynamics in this promising, butchallenging copper-producing region.

“Great overview of thecopper industry in Africanot to be missed by anyoneinvolved with copper”Gerhard de Beer,Key Accounts Manager, SMS Siemag
