The 2024 Namibia Mining Expo has already received bookings from 145 companies, occupying 242 booths.
This year’s 11th Mining Expo & Conference is scheduled for August 7 and 8 at the Windhoek Showgrounds.
Last year was the first time the Chamber of Mines booked out the Windhoek Show Grounds to accommodate the record-breaking demand.
The Chamber of Mines CEO Veston Malango said they anticipate this year’s event to be even bigger and better than last year’s, judging by the current uptake.
The 2024 event will feature many exhibitors, showcasing the latest innovations and technologies propelling the industry forward.
Exhibitors and attendees can look forward to concurrent activities such as the Mining Conference, the Supplier’s Platform and Business-to-Business networking sessions.
Reflecting on the remarkable achievements and trends, this year’s Mining Expo & Conference will highlight the potential within Namibia’s mining sector under “Green Shoots for Namibia’s Mining Industry: a Season of Opportunity and Growth to Drive Economic Expansion.”
This theme underscores the new growth and opportunities emerging in the industry, driven by a resurging uranium sub-sector, a new gold mine, growing potential in the oil & gas sector, and strategic investments to increase the life of mines of existing operations.
As the mining industry plays a pivotal role in Namibia’s economy, the event aims to spotlight these advancements and their potential to stimulate substantial economic expansion.
