The upcoming yearly mining forum Africa Downunder (ADU) will connect African and Australian explorers, miners and investors during its virtual hosting from November 4 to 6.

The event will be held at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Perth, Australia, as well as be broadcast live.

This year’s daily agendas will commence near lunchtime in Perth to ensure live feeds to African politicians, high commissioners and senior mines department personnel from across Africa.

Executives from Australian miners in Africa will be in Perth to present in-person.

The forum comes at a time the African mining sector is continuing to rebound. However, the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic and how such impacts are being handled within Africa’s mining industry will also form part of the programme’s discussions.

Australian mining’s contribution to the African communities around which they operate is also set to have a high profile in the discussions, particularly with the strong focus in more recent years on inclusive health, community support programmes and enhanced risk mitigation protocols.

According to organisers Paydirt, the 17-year old forum remains the largest global business gathering on Africa outside of that continent.
