African Mining Indaba: Ghana invites investors to explore mining opportunities
Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has called on investors at the ongoing African Mining Indaba to take advantage of the opportunities in Ghana’s mining sector.
Speaking at the event in Cape Town, South Africa, Mr. Jinapor highlighted Ghana’s stable democracy and supportive environment for investors.
“The vision of President Akufo-Addo is to make Ghana the mining hub of Africa,” Mr. Jinapor said.
“Where all mining and mining-related activities from exploration to downstream production and from research and innovation will be centered.”
The African Mining Indaba is Africa’s premier mining event, and one of the largest mining events in the world.
This year’s event has a theme of “Unlocking African Mining Investment: Stability, Security, and Supply.”
Over 6,500 mining experts from around the world attend the five-day event, which is a staple in the industry’s calendar.
In addition to providing a platform for discussions and networking opportunities, the African Mining Indaba also has a significant impact on the regional and wider economy of South Africa.
It contributes to South Africa’s GDP, job creation, and tax revenue.
Mr. Jinapor encouraged attendees to visit the Ghana pavilion for more information on investment opportunities in the country and emphasized that Ghana is “ready for business.”
