Testimonials

I enjoyed the renewal of some old acquaintances and forging new ones. A nice diversity of interests not always found at mining seminars.

Atacama Minerals – Tim Miller

It was a very good mix of the South American and Mexican Mining/Exploration companies. This is good for sharing good practices in the continent.

Rio Novo – Julio Carvalho

Great level of interaction between mining ruler people as well as opportunity to get in touch with new products.

Gold Fields – Victor Manuel Diaz

This kind of meetings enhances our field to develop more opportunities.

Grupo Minero La Roca – Gabriel Rodriguez

This event has been an innovative idea because it indeed gathered people from all Latin America. This event has been such a good idea!

Yale Resources – Ezra Jimenez

To say that I was blown away by the support received at this summit would be understating what was achieved. Having been given a platform where global companies such as De Beers, Anglo American and many more were present was humbling, and yet very inspiring. I can only say that the OABD message of a united African business solution was supported by all, and all gave their backing to the end of making this effort a reality.

Neil de Beer

It was a great opportunity to share experiences and network with executives of the mining industry. It was equally useful to engage with policy makers and suppliers in the industry

Samuel Quarm, Resident Director Ghana, Volta Resources

One of the most useful mining meetings I have participated in for a long time

Willem Smuts, Chief Executive, Londoloza Resources Corp

Very informative and educational event. Since it was my first time I found it one of the best events I ever attended, defiantly not one of usual talkshops

Sadike Nepela, General Manager, Extract Resources

It is indeed an excellent opportunity to have such a platform to discuss, share ideas, learn more up to date performances of the mining industry and of the word specific to Africa, mainly in the absence of politically moderated views

Gebre Egziabher Mekenen, Head of License and Administration of Mineral Operation, Ministry of Mines and Energy Ethiopia

Very effective way to network and build exposure in a relatively smaller grouping

Sakhile Ngcobo, Head of External and Corporate Affairs, De Beers Mining

This summit was the best, managed, organised summit! Networking and lessons shared was valuable and I will take home a few great ideas, well done!

Heather Booysen, Head of Environment, Smancor Chrome

Overall I consider this a successful summit which I enjoyed very much
