The organisers report that the 2016 Investing in African Mining Indaba™ will have more interactive panel discussions addressing market challenges incorporated within the main stage program. “As accessing finance remains difficult for mining companies and there is a growing expectation of much more M&A activity to come, we are very pleased to announce the latest additions to our 2016 line-up. These include individuals who are directly involved in some of the alternative financing options available and who have their fingers on the pulse when it comes to potential consolidations within the market. Confirmed speakers include:

• Ned Goodman, Founder, Dundee Corp
• Anthony Milewski, Vice President, Investment Team, Pala Investments
• Mike Stirzaker, Investment Director, Pacific Road Capital
• Julian Treger, Director and Chief Executive Officer, Anglo Pacific Group.

The event runs February 8 to 11, 2016 at the Cape Town International Conference Centre, South Africa. It is an annual professional conference dedicated to the capitalisation and development of mining interests in Africa. For two decades, the annual Mining Indaba has served as a pathway for foreign investments into Africa’s mining value chain – opportunities ranging from small diamond deposits to large coal projects. Each year the Mining Indaba brings more than 7,000 delegates from 110 countries across six continents for one week of unparalleled deal making and discovery in African mining.
