Chantelé Carrington, CEO, Invest Africa, said: “Africa’s mining sector is at a crossroads. On one hand, the continent is witnessing a monumental surge in opportunity and demand for its abundant minerals and metals. On the other, however, global insecurity and oscillating commodity prices are steering investments away from perceived "riskier" markets – including the continent’s key mining countries. Invest Africa is pleased to once again convene key government officials, investors, and industry leaders for our 11th annual Mining Series at this pivotal moment for the continent’s mining industry.”

Nolwandle Mgoqi, CEO, Aon South Africa, said “Aon is proud to once again step onboard as headline sponsor to Invest Africa’s 11th annual Mining Series, delivering a critical platform in identifying and examining investment opportunities, innovation and connecting with industry leaders who play a key role in a sector that is a massive economic contributor in every country of operation. We are pleased to leverage our mining practice expertise across global operations, focusing on risk, health, talent, and retirement, to provide targeted management solutions to our clients. Our goal is to support the industry in navigating opportunities and overcoming obstacles, ensuring sustainability and continued relevance in the future.”
