JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The 2017 Investing in African Mining Indaba is introducing a platform to support Africa’s new generation of junior miners.
The Investment Battlefield competition will give junior mining companies the opportunity to pitch their projects to a panel of expert investors, competing for a number of prizes that will support the development of new projects.
“Identifying the best junior mining companies for investors and supporting the development of new projects is at the core of Mining Indaba. In 2017, we plan to take this one step further with the Investment Battlefield competition,” says MD Alex Grose.
Over a one-day session, the 16 junior miners pitching their projects will also receive live feedback from the judging panel.
The only criteria for entry is that the company is a relatively new business currently developing one to two projects in Africa and with a market cap below $50-million. There will be one overall winner of the battlefield and one runner-up.
