Africa at PDAC 2024 Report
26,926 people attended PDAC 2024 and it seemed like most of them were at our African events!
It was a great week in Toronto and we were delighted with the 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. Check out the photo galleries below.
We had 52 speakers and 515 attendees throughout the morning at The Canada-Africa Chamber of Business 25th Annual African Mining Breakfast & MineAfrica’s 22nd Annual Investing in African Mining seminar on March 5 at the Sheraton Hotel. A big thank you to our major partners Hatch, B2Gold and Osino Resources.
We were pleased to have The Hon. Samuel A. Jinapor, MP, Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Republic of Ghana as our opening speaker. Our keynote speaker Peter Marrone, Chairman and CEO, Allied Gold, delivered an inspiring and well-received talk on “Mining in Africa: Encouraging Mining Opportunities to Promote Economic Development” and “Allied Gold: Africa’s Fastest Growing Gold Producer”.
We had six breakout rooms with country, regional and topical spotlights featuring country overviews by African Mining Ministers, project updates by mining CEO’s and presentations on current trends in African mining by expert advisers. Download the presentations.
