Investing in African Mining Indaba (Mining Indaba), part of Hyve Group Plc, is set to host Mining Indaba Virtual on 2-3 February 2021 with speakers to address the challenges African mining has faced over 2020 but also the opportunities presented going forward

The overarching theme for this year’s online event is ‘Resilience and Regrowth: Adopting the New Mindset for African Mining’ offering a comprehensive agenda filled with cutting-edge topics and critical information from the industry’s eminent minds and most influential companies including four heads of state, Anglo American, Minerals Council South Africa, Exxaro Resources, Rio Tinto, Gold Fields and many more.
