Mining On Top: Africa - London SummitCreating shared value through African mining

24-26 June 2014One Great George Street, Westminster, London

Although Africa is still the continent with the lowest per capita gross domestic product, its nations include many of the world’s quickest developing economies. In the first decade of this century, all ten of the fastest growing economies in the world were in Africa, and African foreign direct investment rose five-fold between 2001 and 2010. Indeed, Africa has seen sustained growth since 2000, with the boom being largely commodity driven.

Continued maximisation of extractive revenues is essential to support the growing expectations of the expanding middle classes and sustain increased urbanisation of the population. However, commodity prices have declined from recent highs; exploration spending has slumped and mining companies of all sizes are focusing on reducing costs. How should the resource-rich continent respond?

In an environment where the whole world is competing for the benefits that mining can bring, Africa must ensure that it offers a competitive environment in which to operate. Transparent and stable taxation regimes, efficient permitting and licensing processes and skilled and healthy workforces are necessary if the continent is to attract mining dollars.

Naturally, investors and miners must also play their part by supporting responsible infrastructure development, encouraging local content development and beneficiation, acting responsibly towards the environment and local communities, and ensuring that full, prior and informed consent is agreed at every stage of the mining development cycle.

Collaboration is required to ensure that Africa’s abundant mineral wealth is developed to the benefit of all. The London Summit again brings all constituents of African mining together to promote understanding, and to grapple with the realities of how this can be achieved.

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 apposite subjects and company presentations will highlight the opportunity Africa presents for suppliers, mining companies and investors.

Mining On Top is part of SNL Metals & Mining.

Join governments, mining companies, investors, suppliers and civil society from across the Arctic region at this important Summit.

Be part of the future of one of the least developed and most prospective areas on earth.

The Arctic region presents an intriguing opportunity for mining companies and investors. Attracted by Tier 1 iron ore grades, Arcelor Mittal is investing $4.1bn in developing Baffin Island in the frozen north of Canada. London Mining is looking to raise $2.5bn to build a new iron ore mine in Greenland. With the ice thinning and receding to reveal more minerals, is the Arctic the next frontier for mining?

Mining On Top: Arctic Summit gathers together all the stakeholders in Arctic mining to consider the implications of development in the region:

• Sustainable practice • Raising finance • Environmental protection • Beneficiation and indigenization • Resourcing and skills • Logistical challenges • Equipment sourcing • Local content development • Militancy and wage inflation • Transparency in governance • Securing consent
