What makes the Limpopo Mining Indaba stand out from other events?

The LMI’s format is very interactive and engaging with the participants of the indaba. LMI is focused on both hardware (technologies) and software (legislation & governance) issues in the mining business on the African/South Africa/Limpopo continent. It offers exhibition stalls for vendors that might include, SOE’s, local government, regulators, agencies, technology companies, logistics companies, plant hire companies, mining equipment suppliers, contractors, and consultants from the environment and energy sectors. It also offers stakeholders the opportunity to express their best practices and concerns in the the mining sector in Limpopo, South African and the World.

It offers workshops that are led and facilitated by civil society, private and public sector leaders.

Workshops led by civil society members-including community leaders- might highlight important participatory governance issues that have to be heeded by project developers (investors) and their contractors (engineers & project managers) and consultants (mining, environmental & stakeholder engagement experts).

This can aid social/public acceptance of mining projects by local/surrounding communities. Evidence from all over the world suggests that this an important issue with dire consequences if not executed properly.

Workshops led by regulators and state-owned agencies might highlight the important legislation and associated trends (or changes/adjustments) that governs the mining sector. This can guide the compliance with regard to social responsibility projects by the mines.
