The 8th edition of the annual Junior Indaba, taking place on 1 and 2 June 2022 at the Johannesburg Country Club, as both an in-person and an online event, has been announced by Resources 4 Africa.
The Junior Indaba is a popular meeting place for junior miners and is enjoyed by all for its incisive, informative, and frank discussions tackling the challenges and opportunities for exploration and junior mining companies in South Africa and elsewhere in Africa.
Discussions this year will focus on the global economic and geopolitical environment and impact on junior mining; outlook for commodities; the demand for “strategic” metals; the global energy transition; access to finance; the regulatory environment; the future role of coal and much more.
Conversations promise to address questions such as:
- How do we revive exploration in South Africa and reach the 5% target of global exploration spend in 5 years?
- How can government policy and legislation be reformed to promote junior mining and exploration?
- What lessons can be learned from successful junior miners who are already operating in SA and beyond?
- What are the opportunities for juniors in the energy transition and demand for strategic metals?
- What are the best ways to create a favourable tax system for juniors?
- How are commodity prices faring in 2022 compared with 2021 and what will this mean for juniors?
- What sources of finance are available and how can juniors access these?
- The energy transition and the future role of coal – what are the implications for Southern African junior coal producers?
Popular features over the two days include: Lessons from the Legends; Myth Busters and a showcase of presentations from junior miners across the continent. The line-up will include investors, government, analysts, and many industry experts.
